Package: kdesudo Version: 3.4.2.4-2 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
gksudo, kdesudo and lxqt-sudo currently provide similar services, and having one of them installed on a system should be sufficient IMHO. However, as it stands, packages are recommending, or even depending on, a specific one of these frontends. Please consider creating a virtual package (e.g. sudo-graphical-frontend), and a desktop-independent executable (e.g. using alternatives) so that packages that require generic graphical sudo services can depend on and use those. Maybe that some applications do require a specific frontend, but I'm sure there is a significant number of packages that works fine with whatever sudo frontend happens to be installed. I am submitting this same bug for gksu, kdesudo and lxqt-sudo. Kind regards, Rogier. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages kdesudo depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.56 ii kde-runtime 4:4.14.2-2 ii libc6 2.19-18 ii libgcc1 1:5.1.1-9 ii libkdecore5 4:4.14.2-5 ii libkdeui5 4:4.14.2-5 ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.8.6+git155-g716fbae+dfsg-2 ii libqt4-svg 4:4.8.6+git155-g716fbae+dfsg-2 ii libqtcore4 4:4.8.6+git155-g716fbae+dfsg-2 ii libqtgui4 4:4.8.6+git155-g716fbae+dfsg-2 ii libstdc++6 5.1.1-9 ii sudo 1.8.12-1 kdesudo recommends no packages. kdesudo suggests no packages. -- debconf information: * kdesudo/kdesu: true
