Dependency listed wrongfully as Suggest

[Kaj Ailomaa]

Binary package hint: hexter

The package dssi-host-jack, which is needed to run hexter is not listed as a dependency and therefore not installed. Clicking "hexter" in the menu will thus not open hexter until dssi-jack-host is installed.

If jack-dssi-host is not installed Hexter will not run from the menu.

After adding jack-dssi-host manually I could start Hexter from the menu.

Marking as confirmed.

That is because dssi-host-jack is not actually needed. You can load Hexter into any DSSI-compatible host as well as any DSSI plugin.

[Ross Gammon (rosco2)]

The original reason for dssi-host-jack not being a "depends" (dssi-host-jack not built on kfreebsd arch) is no longer a reason.
I think "recommends" is the relevant fix, as hexter can also be run in other hosts (e.g. Carla currently in the NEW queue).

This bug was fixed in the package hexter - 1.1.0-2

  * Fix desktop file exec path, plugin now on multi-arch path
