Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 9.0.5
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/calendar

Hi,

While running 'calendar' I get:

calendar: /usr/bin/cpp: No such file or directory

Since 'calendar' is unusable without 'cpp', 'bsdmainutils' should
either 'Depend' on, rather than simply 'Suggest', it; or 'calendar'
code should be changed so that it does not use the GNU C preprocessor,
which, BTW, pulls additional packages: cpp-4.8, libcloog-isl4, libgmp10,
libisl10, libmpc3, libmpfr4.

The latter solution would be preferable as, given that 'bsdmainutils'
Priority is 'important', it gets installed automatically even when
'Recommended' and 'Suggested' packages ere disabled in APT and 14.8 MB
disk space for 'cpp' and its dependencies can be quite substantial on
machines with limited storage, i.e. armel - this SheevaPlug.

Kind regards,

Raf
