Version: 6.7.4-2
Severity: serious

Justification: Policy 2.2.1
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
The package plasma-discover Recommends the non-existent package
software-properties-qt in debian 13 (stable, trixie) and debian testing.
This is a violation of point 2.2.1 of debian policy[1]:
"""
Every package in main must comply with the DFSG (Debian Free Software
Guidelines).
In addition, the packages in main
must not require or recommend a package outside of main for compilation
or execution (thus, the package must not declare a Pre-Depends, Depends,
**Recommends**, Build-Depends, Build-Depends-Indep, or Build-Depends-Arch
relationship on a non-main package unless that package is only listed as
a non-default alternative for a package in main),
"""
plasma-discover is in the main part of the archive,
software-properties-qt is not in the main part of the archive, it is not
in stable nor testing.
Please remove the dependency, patch attached.
Thanks.
