Bug#1027308: chezdav: should probably depend on or recommend avahi-daemon

[Andres Salomon]

Package: chezdav
Version: 2.5-1
Severity: normal

I installed chezdav on a bullseye server, and here's what got installed:

dilinger at hm90:~$ sudo apt-get install chezdav
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
The following additional packages will be installed:
  dbus dbus-user-session dconf-gsettings-backend dconf-service glib-networking glib-networking-common
  glib-networking-services gsettings-desktop-schemas libavahi-client3 libavahi-common-data
  libavahi-common3 libavahi-glib1 libavahi-gobject0 libdconf1 libpam-systemd libphodav-2.0-0
  libphodav-2.0-common libproxy1v5 libsoup2.4-1
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  chezdav dbus dbus-user-session dconf-gsettings-backend dconf-service glib-networking
  glib-networking-common glib-networking-services gsettings-desktop-schemas libavahi-client3
  libavahi-common-data libavahi-common3 libavahi-glib1 libavahi-gobject0 libdconf1 libpam-systemd
  libphodav-2.0-0 libphodav-2.0-common libproxy1v5 libsoup2.4-1

Note that avahi-daemon was not already installed on the server. When I
attemped to run it:


dilinger at hm90:~$ chezdav -P /srv/shared/
phodav: mDNS failed: Failed to create avahi client: Daemon not running


After installing avahi-daemon, the command worked successfully. It should
probably either depend upon or recommend avahi-daemon.
