Package: kdevelop Version: 4:5.0.3-1+b1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
It would appear that the dependency metadata for the kdevelop package presupposes the installation of KDE. A default installation on Stretch with the cinnamon desktop followed by trying to install kdevelop will result in an unusable kdevelop package. Reproduction steps follow: Perform a default installation of Debian stretch with a network mirror apt install build-essential kdevelop Launch kdevelop observe various error messages and broken application apt install kinit qml-module-qtquick* launch kdevelop observe that kdevelop launches correctly Surely this is correctable via package metadata and I would submit a patch but I don't know where to start. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/3 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages kdevelop depends on: ii kdevelop-data 4:5.0.3-1 ii kdevplatform10-libs 5.0.3-1 ii kio 5.28.0-2 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u3 ii libclang1-3.9 1:3.9.1-9 ii libgcc1 1:6.3.0-18+deb9u1 ii libkasten3controllers3 4:16.08.3-1 ii libkasten3core3 4:16.08.3-1 ii libkasten3okteta1controllers1 4:16.08.3-1 ii libkasten3okteta1core1 4:16.08.3-1 ii libkasten3okteta1gui1 4:16.08.3-1 ii libkf5completion5 5.28.0-1 ii libkf5configcore5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5configgui5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5configwidgets5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5coreaddons5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5crash5 5.28.0-1 ii libkf5declarative5 5.28.0-1 ii libkf5i18n5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5iconthemes5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5itemviews5 5.28.0-1 ii libkf5jobwidgets5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5kiocore5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5kiowidgets5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5newstuff5 5.28.0-1 ii libkf5parts5 5.28.0-1 ii libkf5texteditor5 5.28.0-2 ii libkf5threadweaver5 5.28.0-1+b2 ii libkf5widgetsaddons5 5.28.0-3 ii libkf5xmlgui5 5.28.0-1 ii libprocesscore7 4:5.8.4-1 ii libprocessui7 4:5.8.4-1 ii libqt5core5a 5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5dbus5 5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5gui5 5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5help5 5.7.1-1 ii libqt5network5 5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5quickwidgets5 5.7.1-2+b2 ii libqt5webkit5 5.7.1+dfsg-1 ii libqt5widgets5 5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5xml5 5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libstdc++6 6.3.0-18+deb9u1 Versions of packages kdevelop recommends: ii g++ 4:6.3.0-4 ii gcc 4:6.3.0-4 ii gdb 7.12-6 ii kapptemplate 4:16.08.3-1 ii kio-extras 4:16.08.3-1 ii make 4.1-9.1 Versions of packages kdevelop suggests: pn cmake <none> pn kdevelop-l10n <none> pn ninja-build <none> -- no debconf information
