About thunderbird dependency

Asked by Festor

Binary package hint: language-support-translations-es

I want to comment

* Why Ubuntu install thunderbird support by default (installing
Spanish support) althougt I no use thunderbird... and thunderbird is
no installed by default... O_o

* If it were the case I use thunderbird, why install Ubuntu packages
package thunderbird-locale-es-ar and thunderbird-locale-es-es?

I say that Depends field of "language-support-translations-es"
meta-package should be:

"Depends: openoffice.org-help-es, openoffice.org-l10n-es,
thunderbird-locale-es-ar | thunderbird-locale-es-es, gimp-help-es"

instead of:

"Depends: openoffice.org-help-es, openoffice.org-l10n-es,
thunderbird-locale-es-ar, thunderbird-locale-es-es, gimp-help-es"

In this way at least I could uninstall "thunderbird-locale-es-ar"
without uninstall "language-support-translations-es" package.
