It is therefore useless unless it is installed alongside some version of GnuPG, and so it would surely be helpful to users - if only for documentary reasons - if the kgpg package depended on either gnupg or gnupg2 (I don't think gpgme contains enough functionality). This would of course also provide for automatic installation of the supporting GnuPG software on any system which doesn't already have it. I acknowledge that current Debian systems are likely to have GnuPG already installed because it seems to be a base package these days, presumably because it's necessary in order to check package signatures during package installation by APT. I note that Ubuntu's current kgpg package also lacks the gnupg dependency, having apparently dropped it around the time of the change from KDE3 to KDE4. I can confirm that on Debian Sarge / KDE 3.3.2 the kgpg package had a gnupg dependency (I still have such a system) so maybe the dependency was dropped by Debian at the KDE3/4 transition, perhaps on the grounds that GnuPG will always be present. This bug is being submitted in case the ommission is inadvertent. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages kgpg depends on: ii kdebase-runtime 4:4.4.5-1 runtime components from the offici ii kdepim-runtime 4:4.4.7-1 Runtime components for akonadi-kde ii libc6 2.11.3-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libkabc4 4:4.4.5-2 library for handling address book ii libkdecore5 4:4.4.5-2+squeeze3 the KDE Platform Core Library ii libkdeui5 4:4.4.5-2+squeeze3 the KDE Platform User Interface Li ii libkio5 4:4.4.5-2+squeeze3 the Network-enabled File Managemen ii libkpimutils4 4:4.4.5-2 library for dealing with email add ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.6.3-4+squeeze1 Qt 4 D-Bus module ii libqtcore4 4:4.6.3-4+squeeze1 Qt 4 core module ii libqtgui4 4:4.6.3-4+squeeze1 Qt 4 GUI module ii libsolid4 4:4.4.5-2+squeeze3 Solid Library for KDE Platform ii libstdc++6 4.4.5-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 kgpg recommends no packages. kgpg suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
