Bug#623815: x11-utils: Spurious dependency on cpp?

[Hilmar Preusse <hille42@web.de>]

Package: x11-utils
Version: 7.6+1
Severity: minor

Hi,

I just noticed that x11-utils depends on cpp. I was wondering and
consulted the changelog for an explanation. I found the following entry:

 xbase-clients  (1:7.2.ds2-2) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Brice Goglin ]
   * Restore Depends: on cpp (got lost during modularization)
     since xrdb needs it to process .Xdefaults.
     Thanks Marcus C. Gottwald (closes: #413298).

However xrdb is not in x11-utils, but in x11-xserver-utils (which depends on
cpp). I guess the dep on cpp can be removed.

Thanks,
  Hilmar
