[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#567800: virtualbox-ose has a dependancy on QT which is the duty of virtualbox-ose-qt only

[Pierre M.]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 3.1.2-dfsg-1+b1
Severity: important

Hello, simple testing user here,

I'm trying the virtualbox-ose package. I'd like to run it on an X11-less host.
I see there is a virtualbox-ose-qt package for QT desktop use.
I think the virtualbox-ose (not -qt) package should not have a QT dependancy.
I mean : if there is a nice packaging separation in two packages (vb-ose and vb-ose-qt) then the vb-ose one should not depend on QT.

Hope it helps.
Thanks to all Debian contributors

PM
