steadyflow and kget listed as recommends for liferea: steadyflow not available for wily

[Kev Bowring]

Installing liferea in xubuntu wily calls for

Need to get 88.3 MB of archives.
After this operation, 277 MB of additional disk space will be used.

Running apt-get install --no-install-recommends

Need to get 1,115 kB of archives.
After this operation, 5,556 kB of additional disk space will be used.

Appears that the inclusion of kget as a recommends is causing the problem for anyone but Kubuntu.

Terminal output attached.

Or is that in recommends has steadyflow or kget and steadyflow is not available in wily?

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

Identical behavior in today's Vivid and Gnome dailes. It wanted to bring in 177 additional packages, almost entirely KDE and QT.

Wouldn't that all be invisible to someone using Software Center? I.e., they'd install Liferea and end up with most of KDE, as well.

This issue has been fixed in Debian already. It requires somebody to update the Ubuntu package as there is a delta between Ubuntu and Debian that propably should remain (actually I would like to support the delta in the Debian package but I don't know how).

This bug was fixed in the package liferea - 1.10.17-1ubuntu1
