Package: smtube
Version: 2.1-1
Severity: normal

   * What led up to the situation?
     Trying to uninstall VLC while having SMTube installed
   
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
    sudo apt-get remove vlc

   * What was the outcome of this action?
   While the command did want to uninstall VLC, it also wanted to install smplayer and viceversa. 
   
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
   VLC to be removed and smplayer/mplayer/mplayer2 not to be installed as well.


I think MPV should be included as a dependency for SMtube (same way totem/mplayer/vlc are). SMtube uses MPV as well
so there should be no problem there. If you want to use SMTube and you only use mpv you would have to install
an additional video player as well which seems rather unnecesary. Thanks!
