[Bug 1503820] [NEW] Direct requirements for epoptes package are declared implictly as requirements for epoptes-client

 

Public bug reported:

Currently some direct requirements (Depends/Recommends) for epoptes
server-side package are declared implictly as requirements for epoptes-
client, which in turn is a requirement (Recommends) for epoptes. If I
remove epoptes-client from my server, these direct requirements could be
removed by "apt-get autoremove".

To the moment, I've found the following packages that should be declared
as explicit requirements for epoptes package:

* socat (needed for opening client terminals remotely in server)

* x11vnc (needed for broadcasting server screen to clients)

I'll update this bug report if I can find any other ones.

** Affects: epoptes
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
