rdesktop not installed by default

[R S Gill]

Binary package hint: krdc

rdesktop is not installed by default with krdc.

To be able to connect to a windows box, rdekstop needs to be manually installed.

Shouldn't rdesktop be installed together with krdc?

[Chris Rose (chris-vault5)]

rdesktop is a suggested package when installing krdc, it should probably be changed to a recommends package.

[Chris Rose (chris-vault5)]

gnome-rdp depends on rdesktop, I think the krdc package should have the same behaviour.

[Thomas Dzubin (tzubin)]

Yes, this one just bit me also this morning when I was trying out the KUbuntu Beta CD, but after adept installing rdesktop...everything is fine again, so yes ... rdesktop should definitely be in the default package on both Ubuntu and Kubuntu
