Package: xfce4-utils
Version: 4.8.3-2
Severity: minor
Having done a fresh testing install of xfce, I installed xfce4-utils (i think
via synaptic). Xscreensaver is not installed as it is only recommends, not
requires, xflock4 does not work.
sh -x xflock4
+ pgrep xscreensaver
+ pgrep -f gnome-screensaver
++ which slock
+ test x '!=' x
+ xlock
/usr/bin/xflock4: Zeile 29: xlock: Kommando nicht gefunden.
+ exit 0
Additionally, there is no xlock to be found via apt-file ? So it should not be
being used as a fallback (bug 544857)?
$ apt-file find xlock | grep bin
fvwm: /usr/bin/fvwm-menu-xlock
hylafax-server: /usr/sbin/faxlock
lxsession: /usr/bin/lxlock
$
I think it might be a good idea to require (Xscreensaver | gnome-screensaver )
rather than recommend, that way locking functionality works out of the box,
rather than the user having to dig into a terminal to determine that xlock
doesn't work, or even exist, and then having to read the shell script (or use
tracing) to see that xscreensaver/gnome-screensaver is an option.

Well, then don't change the default, and install recommends, that's why
they're here.

Yup, the last fallback is xlock, in xlockmore package, which is
unfortunately not in testing.
In any case, there's no need for a dependency, recommends is just fine,
so closing.
