libmessagecomposer4 should not depend on kmail

[Götz Christ]

Currently (kdepim 4.11) the libmessagecomposer4 library depends on kmail, which shouln't be a dependecy. Kmail has the (correct) dependency on libmessagecomposer4.

This prevents kmail from beeing removed without breaking libmessagecomposer4, which would break libmessagecomposer4, which would break libkdepim4.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Affects me to. I don't use kmail but I'm using akregator. In Ubuntu Saucy it is impossible
to install akregator without installing kmail.

aptitude why kmail
i akregator Depends libkdepim4 (= 4:4.11.2-0ubuntu1)
i A libkdepim4 Depends libmailcommon4 (= 4:4.11.2-0ubuntu1)
i A libmailcommon4 Depends libmessagecomposer4 (= 4:4.11.2-0ubuntu1)
i A libmessagecomposer4 Depends kmail (>= 4:4.11.2-0ubuntu1)

ldd /usr/lib/libmessagecomposer.so.4.11.2 |grep send
        libsendlater.so.4 => /usr/lib/libsendlater.so.4 (0x00007f7e5313b000)

dpkg -L kmail |grep libsend
/usr/lib/libsendlater.so.4.11.2
/usr/lib/libsendlater.so.4

libsendlater should be a separate package apparently.

[Götz Christ (g-christ)]

You are right, FWIW in Arch Linux there is the kdepim-libkdepim[1] which includes that library and 20 other libs, which is required by all kdepim packages.

Fix is in debian will be fixed for 14.04 through merge.

[Sergey Basalaev (sbasalaev)]

Fixed in trusty, still affects saucy

[Harald Sitter (apachelogger)]

Can't fix that for saucy as apt-get update will not pull in new packages, so this cannot be shipped as regular update.
