xterm Recommends: x11-utils
Please consider noting the reason for this recommendation in the package
description. A quick review of the contents of x11-utils didn't suggest
any obvious reason why xterm might want it.
probably because luit is bundled in with this collection.
(appres is another likely reason).
Ah, luit makes sense; so, uxterm needs x11-utils to handle non-UTF-8
locales?
That sounds correct.
How about the following addition to the package description, then:
"
xterm Recommends x11-utils for the "luit" Unicode-to-locale translation
helper, which uxterm needs in order to handle non-UTF-8 locales.
"
something like that
s/in order to/to/g
(I also wonder whether koi8rxterm has some similar need, in which case
this description should mention that as well.)
It might...
