Phonon4qt5-backend-vlc disrupts Dolphin

Applications
1

I am running Mx-linux 21-3 with kde plasma 5.20.5 and when I remove the VLC component phonon4qt5-backend-vlc version 0.11.2-1 it also removed Dolphin file manager.

This should not occur as the component I removed is for VLC and cannot see any components that should be related to Dolphin?

Welcome to the communitiy!

Are you sure it’s exclusively only for VLC?

Just a quick check on my Debian:


laco@Nagygep:~$ apt-cache rdepends phonon4qt5-backend-vlc
phonon4qt5-backend-vlc
Reverse Depends:
  libvlc5
  libvlc5
  phonon4qt5
 |phonon4qt5
 |auralquiz
  phonon4qt5
 |phonon4qt5

And then an extraact from output of apt-cache rdepends phonon4qt5
phonon4qt5
Reverse Depends:
quassel-client
quassel
…bla-bla-bla…
dragonplayer
dolphin
calligrastage
…bla-bla-bla…

Use apt-cache depends <package> and apt-cache rdepends <package> to climb the dependency tree.
