[Bug 1265628] [NEW] libunity-webapps0 Depends on unity-webapps-service instead of Recommends

 

Public bug reported:

The libunity-webapps0 package is declaring a hard Depends on unity-
webapps-service, though the latter is not actually required by the
library. For someone who does not need or want any webapps, it is
feasible that they would want to uninstall this service, and not have it
waste CPU and memory.

A reasonable solution would be to move the necessary pieces of that
package (the crashdb conf file for apport, and the gsettings schemas) to
a unity-webapps-common package which the library can hard Depends on,
and have unity-webapps-service be a Recommends instead.

** Affects: libunity-webapps (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
