Package: kdnssd Severity: normal while talking about an unrelated bug in #debian-utopia, we discussed why libnss-mdns got installed on a user's machine. We discovered that this is because kdnssd has a hard dependency on libnss-mdns, which was dragged in via kdenetwork and kdelibs. This means that virtually every user of any kde application has libnss-mdns installed!
According to #debian-utopia, the hard dependency is wrong. kdnssd cannot do anything useful with libnss-mdns without avahi-daemon, which in turn is only a recommended package. I therefore ask you to demote the dependency to a Suggest. Recommends still seems to high to me, because Recommends should be installed by default. I don't see the rationale why every KDE installation should have libnss-mdns installed and activated by default. I CC'ed the pkg-utopia mailing list, so they can comment if I understood something wrong. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
