Not forced to install vpnc upon installing kvpnc

[Jonathan Jesse]

Binary package hint: kvpnc

vpnc is recommended by kvpnc, however in order to connect to a cisco vpn you are required to install vpnc.
vpnc should be installed upon selecting kvpnc in adept

[Achim Bohnet (allee)]

the reason why vpn is only recommended is in the
description:

...
 It supports :
   * Cisco-compatible VPN client (vpnc)
   * IPSec (freeswan, openswan, racoon)
   * Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) client (pptp-linux)
   * Virtual Private Network daemon (openvpn)
...

others complained they don't need vpnc.
Formally depends is wrong, and recommends is right.

Maybe

Depends vpnc | openvpn | ...

or kvpnc-cisco pkg?

is a better compromise? bugs.debian.org contains surely
also some reports about depends/recommends ;)

[Rich Johnson (nixternal)]

confirming due to response to this report and packaging acknowledgment

[Fathi Boudra (fboudra)]

vpnc was never recommended by kvpnc package (in distribution term). It is a suggests. As allee suggested, kvpnc-x packages that brings related depends can be done.
