Bug#1119890: plasma-workspace: Should plasma-workspace still Depend on x11-xserver-utils?
Package: plasma-workspace
Version: 4:6.5.1-1
Severity: normal
I tried to create a 'minimal' system image with KDE Plasma 6 (wrt the
black box under cursor problem) and I use this command for that:
``aptitude install kde-plasma-desktop -t sid``
Then I noticed that 'cpp' and all its Depends and Recommends got
installed and that is due to x11-xserver-utils getting installed, which
is (currently?) a Depends of plasma-workspace.
If I look at x11-xserver-utils' package description, I see various tools
which are useful for an Xorg environment.
But now that we have/are switched to Wayland, that seems less/not
important? I can be wrong ofc.
Running ``git blame debian/control`` shows it was added on 2014-05-31 in
01c96e8f7183 ("Initial release")
So I'm wondering if it's still required or could possibly be downgraded
to Recommends?
Cheers,
Diederik
