[Debian-on-mobile-maintainers] Bug#1052216: plasma-mobile should depend on plasma-dialer

[Marco Mattiolo]

Hi,

thank you for reporting.

For the point of plasma-mobile not depending on plasma-dialer, I'm sorry 
that's a "wontfix": there are usecases (e.g. tablet) where plasma-mobile 
can be used without plasma-dialer, then it makes no sense for 
plasma-mobile to depend on plasma-dialer and to force some user to 
install plasma-dialer even if not needed.

Your point will be addressed in the near future, as a metapackage is 
being worked on to bring something like plasma-mobile-phone (which will 
depend on plasma-dialer and many others) and plasma-mobile-tablet (which 
will not depend on plasma-dialer) to Debian. In the phone usecase, you 
will have to install plasma-mobile-phone to get a full plasma-mobile 
system for the phone usecase, including the dialer.


For the point of the plasma-dialer error, that's an error I've seen in 
two situations: inside a virtual machine (hence no modem available to 
route audio calls) or when something was crashing really bad. Just to be 
sure, have you installed plasma-dialer from the Debian repo with all its 
dependencies, right? Does this error still happen after reboot?

Kind regards

Marco
