This is not a bug but a question.
Rosegarden is a KDE application and as such depends on a number of KDE packages (kdebase-bin, kdelibs4c2a (>= 4:3.5.9), khelpcenter4, konqueror,etc.). Dolphin is a secondary dependancy (it gets dragged in by one or more of these explicit dependancies). |

kdebase-dev needs to depend on dolphin for obvious reasons
kdebase-bin depends on dolphin because of a sharedlib dependency (other depds that should be mentioned are kdebase-rntime, which is a dep of _any_ KDE application and kdebase-data)
kdebase is a meta package
Nothing wrong here. |

Nope, you can't possibly oblige users to install half of the KDE desktop for a simple Qt application. There is definitively something wrong here.

So, investigating further, rosegarden depends on kdebase-bin because it invokes the kdialog binary through dcop for notification dialogs and such. This is a hackish workaround, and the dialogs should actually be coded/provided by rosegarden to prevent such dependencies on kdebase.
Until then, it would probably be wise to drop kdebase-bin to Recommends or Suggests since the functionality the kdialog brings is not vital and it wouldn't work in a KDE4 environment anyway. |
