[Pkg-phototools-devel] Bug#929472: facedetect: Facedetect can depend only on opencv-data instead of libopencv-dev

[Dominik Stadler]

Package: facedetect
Version: 0.1-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

This package currently has libopencv-dev as a runtime-dependency.

However the README states that either opencv-data or libopencv-dev need to
be installed.

In fact, when scanning the sources of the package, it seems only stuff from
/usr/share/opencv
is required, which is provided by opencv-data.

So the dependencies of facedetect can be reduced a lot by only depending on
opencv-data.

Otherwise many development packages are dragged in as part of
libopencv-data.

This also resolves #856593 as it would make the actually required
dependency on opencv-data explicit
