Bug#765501: freeciv-gtk: should depend on, not recommend, gtk2-engines-pixbuf

[Ludovic Brenta]

Package: freeciv-gtk
Version: 2.4.3-1
Severity: normal

The GTK+2 version of the freeciv client will not work without
gtk2-engines-pixbuf.  Symptoms: the client hangs doing nothing, not
refreshing its window and not responding to user input.  The
~/.xsession-errors file contains:

Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap"

which is the only clue I had about a possible cause.

This happened on my 8-yer-old son's laptop, which is a 13-year-old
Apple iBook where I installed Debian Jessie (testing) and configured
apt *not* to install recommended packages by default.

Therefore the Recommends: gtk2-engines-pixbuf should be strenghened to
Depends:.

There is no explanation in #677891 why the maintainer chose Recommends:
when upstream said Depends: was necessary; hence this new bug report.
