Package: psi
Version: 0.11-3
Severity: minor
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
As you know, Psi cannot use GnuPG for end-to-end encryption unless
libqca2-plugin-gnupg is also installed. For that reason the package
libqca2-plugin-gnupg is suggested by the package psi. However, although it is
quite common (as far as I know) for people to have their systems configured
so that package recommendations are automatically installed, this is not the
case for package suggestions. Which means that, by default, Psi is installed
without GnuPG support. The fact that libqca2-plugin-gnupg is needed for
end-to-end encryption could also easily be missed by users. I'm not asking
that libqca2-plugin-gnupg be recommended by psi since that would probably
drag gpg into installation, which might not be what people want, but a notice
be put in the package psi's description that end-to-end encryption won't work
unless libqca2-plugin-gnupg is also installed.
This came under my notice after I noticed that my Psi installation couldn't
use GnuPG keys, although gpg was properly installed, the reason being that
libqca2-plugin-gnupg was not installed.
Thank you for your time.
