The bug severity was lowered as the critical problem was resolved by moving the codec package. Still, in the discussions it was brought up that unity-scope-click should not have a runtime dependency on ubuntu-sdk-libs (which has a big list of dependencies), but instead query the available frameworks manually.

Is there some other way to depend on the frameworks files actually being installed on the system, without a dep on ubuntu-sdk-libs? The dep was added because the frameworks files being present on disk are necessary for the scope to work correctly, as otherwise it will appear the scope is completely broken, and we'll get bug reports about the scope not showing any available apps when it gets installed in certain contexts.

I see no valid reason why ubuntu-sdk-libs should be removed as a dependency. It should never be uninstallable, and it provides files which are vital to the functionality of the click store scope. By definition, the dependency is correct.

Right, it was found it's not currently possible since the ubuntu-sdk-libs contain the actual framework files in addition to being a meta package.
