Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: scsitools
When installing scsitools on a server on Ubuntu 9.10 and up,
the user is unexpectedly installing the X windows system. On
Ubuntu 8.04 systems, this does not happen.
The reason appears to be that scsitools has a the following
build-depends:
Build-Depends: tk8.4, debhelper (>= 5), quilt
Which turns into a:
Recommends: tk8.4
And as Ubuntu now installs Recommends: by default, the
user ends up with X on his server.
The package appears to come with one TK enabled script:
$ find . | grep -i bin | grep tk
./usr/sbin/tk_scsiformat
The right way to fix this is probably to split the package in
two: one TK enabled, one not. But at the very least I'd like
to see the 'Recommends:' turn into a 'Suggests:'
