Bug#462307: libsoap-lite-perl: Please do not recommend libnet-jabber-perl
Package: libsoap-lite-perl Version: 0.70.04-1 Severity: normal libsoap-lite-perl Recommends libnet-jabber-perl, because it can do SOAP over Jabber. However, this does not seem like a common case that almost every user of the package will want; many SOAP services just use HTTP, and users of those services will not need libnet-jabber-perl. With many apt frontends now installing recommends by default, many people installing libsoap-lite-perl will get libnet-jabber-perl even though they have no need for it. Please downgrade this to a Suggests. - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
