Lacks dependencies (depends)

[Tom Reynolds]

After installing rasdaemon and starting the service (sudo systemctl start rasdaemon) on this amd64 16.04.4 system, running "ras-mc-ctl --summary" fails:

Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (you may need to install the DBI module) (@INC contains: /home/myuser/.opam/4.04.2/lib/perl5 /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.22.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.22.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.22 /usr/share/perl/5.22 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base .) at /usr/sbin/ras-mc-ctl line 1050.

After installing libdbi-perl, running "ras-mc-ctl --summary" still fails:

install_driver(SQLite) failed: Can't locate DBD/SQLite.pm in @INC (you may need to install the DBD::SQLite module) (@INC contains: /home/myuser/.opam/4.04.2/lib/perl5 /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.22.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.22.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.22 /usr/share/perl/5.22 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base .) at (eval 6) line 3.
Perhaps the DBD::SQLite perl module hasn't been fully installed,
or perhaps the capitalisation of 'SQLite' isn't right.
Available drivers: DBM, ExampleP, File, Gofer, Proxy, Sponge.
 at /usr/sbin/ras-mc-ctl line 1055.

Installing libdbd-sqlite3-perl fixes this and makes "ras-mc-ctl --summary" run properly.

It would seem that libdbi-perl and libdbd-sqlite3-perl should be listed in the "Depends" field for the rasdaemon package.

Tested this on 18.04.1 @ 12/8/2018 with system up to date

to test the depends: sudo apt purge rasdaemon libdbd-sqlite3-perl libdbi-perl

and reinstalled rasdaemon installs depends automaticly again

This was fixed in 18.04 and above " * Closes: #869697 -- add dependency on libdbd-sqlite3-perl"

This does seem qualified for an SRU if anyone feels it's worth bringing this fix back to 16.04.
