Bug#1039901: [Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1039901: Demote ntfs-3g from recommends to suggests

2023-07-11 Thread Sebastien Bacher
Thanks for pointing those out Michael. I hadn't noticed that Debian 
didn't have the ntfs option turned on in their kernel, but the mkfs 
point is also valid.


Should I just close the request since currently the recommends seems to 
be more appropriate?

Could you elaborate here?
If I uninstall ntfs-3g I get

$ udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdb1
Error mounting /dev/sdb1: 
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.Failed: Error mounting 
/dev/sdb1 at /media/michael/EXTREME: Filesystem type ntfs not 
configured in kernel.



Also, ntfs-3g ships mkfs.ntfs etc which would be missing otherwise.
I.e. users wouldn't be able to create NTFS formatted USB sticks for 
example, which is an important use case imho.
