Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kpackagekit
In Kubuntu 9.10, KPackageKit was made to depend on kdebase-workspace-
bin, as it was the binary package that housed the KDE policykit dialog.
In Kubuntu 10.04 this dialog was ported/moved to the polkit-kde-1 binary
package, but the dependency was never changed in KPackageKit.
As an adverse side effect of this, all KDE applications pull in kdebase-
workspace via kdebase-runtime (all KDE apps dep on this), since it
recommends kubuntu-debug-installer which depends on kpackagekit,
requiring much more KDE than is necessary to run even the most simple of
KDE apps.
To fix this, the kdebase-workspace-bin dependency should be changed to
be a dependency on polkit-kde-1. This has been fixed in maverick, and
just needs a lucid SRU.
