Bug Description

Binary package hint: scim

As stated here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2008-June/025529.html

apt is now installing Recommends by default in Hardy. Currently scim Recommends: scim-bridge-agent, scim-bridge-client-gtk, scim-bridge-client-qt, scim-bridge-client-qt4. This needs to be changed as this will pull in many un-needed packages. This is especially true for people that don't mix desktop environments. For instance, on my system will cause all the core qt4 libraries to be installed:

Installing scim-bridge-client-qt4 as dep of scim
Installing libqt4-core as dep of scim-bridge-client-qt4
Installing libqt4-dbus as dep of libqt4-core
Installing libqt4-xml as dep of libqt4-dbus
Installing libqtcore4 as dep of libqt4-xml
Installing libqt4-network as dep of libqt4-core
Installing libqt4-script as dep of libqt4-core
Installing libqt4-test as dep of libqt4-core
Installing libqt4-gui as dep of scim-bridge-client-qt4
Installing libqt4-assistant as dep of libqt4-gui
Installing libqt4-designer as dep of libqt4-gui
Installing libqtgui4 as dep of libqt4-designer
Installing qt4-qtconfig as dep of libqtgui4
Installing libqt4-qt3support as dep of qt4-qtconfig
Installing libqt4-sql as dep of libqt4-qt3support
Installing libqt4-sql-mysql as dep of libqt4-sql
Installing libqt4-opengl as dep of libqt4-gui
Installing libqt4-svg as dep of libqt4-gui

According to the changelog these packages were added to Recommends in version 1.4.7-3ubuntu1.

They should either be moved to Suggests or made so only one needs to be installed:

scim-bridge-agent, scim-bridge-client-gtk | scim-bridge-client-qt | scim-bridge-client-qt4
