[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#618545: cups-client: upgrade pulls in samba

[Jonathan Nieder]

Package: cups-client
Version: 1.4.6-2

Hi,

From today's upgrade:

 # cupt full-upgrade
 Building the package cache... [done]
 Initializing package resolver and worker... [done]
 Scheduling requested actions... [done]
 Resolving possible unmet dependencies... 
 The following 29 packages will be INSTALLED:

 libasn1-8-heimdal libdcerpc0 libgensec0 libgssapi2-heimdal libhcrypto4-heimdal libhdb9-heimdal libheimbase1-heimdal libheimntlm0-heimdal libhx509-5-heimdal libkrb5-26-heimdal libldb1 libndr-standard0 libndr0 libregistry0 libroken18-heimdal libsamba-hostconfig0 libsamba-util0 libsamdb0 libtevent0 libwbclient0 libwind0-heimdal python-ldb python-samba python-talloc python-tdb samba-common samba-common-bin samba4-clients samba4-common-bin 

 The following 23 packages will be UPGRADED:

 cups-bsd cups-client cups-common dictionaries-common gcc-snapshot grub-common grub-pc liba52-0.7.4 libcups2 libcupsimage2 libgail18 libgeoip1 libgtk-3-0 libgtk-3-bin libgtk-3-common libgtk2.0-0 libgtk2.0-bin libgtk2.0-common libgtk2.0-dev libplot2c2 libppl-c4 libppl9 libpwl5 

 Need to get 112MiB/135MiB of archives. After unpacking 45.5MiB will be used.
 Do you want to continue? [y/N/q] 

I take it that that is because of

>    [ Martin-Éric Racine ]
>    * Added Recommends:smbclient to cups-client (Closes: #616015).

which is about the cupsaddsmb utility using smbclient --- but that
does not fulfill the requirement "will have to be present in all but
unusual installations" by a long shot.

Would it be possible to downgrade the recommendation to a Suggests?
Alternatively, should cupsaddsmb should go in a separate package which
Depends on cups-client?

Thanks for keeping printing working well.

Regards,
Jonathan
