Package: linssid Version: 2.7-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Currently, linssid depends on gksu. However, kdesudo does the the job just as well, and presumably lxqt-sudo also does. So please make linssid depend on gksu *or* kdesudo *or* lxqt-sudo. As linssid is a QT application, it also seems more logical to actually prefer kdesudo or lxqt-sudo over gksu. In addition, if the user has some other way or application to obtain the required root privileges, there is no need for gksu or kdesudo at all. It is my impression that linssid does not actually need either to function. They don't even enhance the functionality of linssid. Rather: they *can* be used by a regular user to start linssid, as it needs root privileges to start. So, IMHO, the sudo frontend should not be a dependency, but a recommendation instead. Kind regards, Rogier. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NL@rjg, LC_CTYPE=nl_NL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages linssid depends on: ii gksu 2.0.2-9 ii iw 3.17-1 ii libc6 2.19-18 ii libgcc1 1:5.1.1-9 ii libqt5core5a 5.4.2+dfsg-5 ii libqt5gui5 5.4.2+dfsg-5 ii libqt5svg5 5.4.2-2 ii libqt5widgets5 5.4.2+dfsg-5 ii libstdc++6 5.1.1-9 ii wireless-tools 30~pre9-8 linssid recommends no packages. linssid suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
