grip should depend on yelp

Bug Description

Binary package hint: grip

I installed Grip in Kubuntu Edgy Eft, and when I clicked on the buttons in the help screen none of them worked. I installed yelp and they did work.

So there is a missing dependency somewhere, Grip should bring in yelp.

Thanks for your report. Your idea might get more attention and have
the possibility of being implemented if you would submit a
specification for this.

You should first check whether it already exists at the Ubuntu specs
page (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+specs) in Launchpad. If
that is the case, feel free to contact the drafter of that spec about
your comments/suggestions. Otherwise you can start writing a spec
following the steps described in
        https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureSpecifications.

That software should work as intended is a new idea?

I'm not too concerned, it was only momentarily annoying. Its just a "crossing the t's dotting the i's" issue.

This is quite an interesting question. No other desktop applications depend on yelp, but they all use it as their help reader. Yelp is of course included in the default desktop as part of the ubuntu-desktop package.

The packagers seem to have taken the view that this is sufficient. Except for ekiga, apparently, see bug 78287

  * Downgrading depends on yelp to a recommends to allow skipping the long
    depends chain of yelp when it is not intended.

Recommends are installed by default since Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid).
