[Bug 1768843] Re: Dependencies not being flagged for install upon installing a new package

[Julian Andres Klode]

libvirt-bin should not be necessary.  gnome-boxes recommends qemu-
system-x86 so it should be installed on most systems; and libvirt-daemon
recommends qemu-kvm so that should be installed too. Both are not
integral parts of gnome boxes though, it works fine without it (e.g.
managing remote machines I think).

In any case, reassigning to gnome-boxes.

** Package changed: apt (Ubuntu) => gnome-boxes (Ubuntu)

** Summary changed:

- Dependencies not being flagged for install upon installing a new package
+ gnome-boxes install does not install qemu(-kvm)

Title:
  gnome-boxes install does not install qemu(-kvm)

Status in gnome-boxes package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  For example, the Ubuntu Software Center and 'apt' tool within the
  Terminal do not recognize and flag the packages 'qemu' "qemu-kvm" and
  'libvirt-bin' for install upon installation of the gnome-boxes
  package.

  Gnome-boxes requires these packages to virtualize, and should be
  flagged and installed as part of the default.
