Noticed this when upgrading yesterday. Suddenly got a lot more junk installed on my system because of the new dep of kdebase-runtime on kdepimlibs.
Is this dependency really necessary? Can it not be optional with the KDE programs that actually require it pull it in explicitly? I'd prefer to not have MySQL on my system, in addition to the numerous other programs that got pulled. Anything from my log that is listed as "installed" was obviously not there before:
In truth, I didn't think to the non-KDE users when I added this depencence. It seems that only drkonqi needs a library from kdepimlibs, but we know that drkonqi is pretty useless since we haven't debug symbols in KDE. I'll move kdepimlibs to optdepends just to be clear; anyway the others KDE module should already depend on it. namcap output: kdebase-runtime E: Dependency kdepimlibs detected and not included (libraries ['lib/libkxmlrpcclient.so.4'] needed in files ['usr/lib/kde4/libexec/drkonqi']) -- Andrea
