Package: xvfb-run
Version: 2:1.1.1-21
Severity: serious

Hi,

It seems you only recommend xbase-clients instead of depending on it.
It seems that xvfb-run doesn't want to run without xauth:
if ! which xauth >/dev/null; then
    error "xauth command not found"
    exit 3
fi

The manpage also states:
       xvfb-run requires the xauth command to function.


So I think the recommends on xbase-clients should be changed to a
Depends.
