[Bug 1403472] [NEW] fails to start in trusty - missing package dependency

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Rolf Leggewie (r0lf):

The smc package in trusty is faulty.  It needs to declare a dependency
on the ttf-dejavu-core package.  If the package is not installed, the
program fails to start.

Vivid is not affected since this problem was fixed in Debian in

smc (1.9+git20121121-1.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Fix "/usr/share/games/smc/gui/font/default_bold.ttf does not exist"
    (Closes: #758427):
     - smc-data needs to depend on fonts-dejavu-core
     - update smc-data.links to the fonts in this package and not in the
       transitional package ttf-dejavu-core
  * Fix "desktop file category key is incomplete". Applying patch from Markus
    Koschany, but omitting the character name as it could be a trademark.
    (Closes: #738030)

SRU TEST CASE

Install smc in a trusty environment that does NOT have the  ttf-dejavu-
core package installed. Run smc from the command line.  The program
aborts with an error about missing fonts.  Now install said package and
things will go fine.

Regression potential

None.  The program currently fails to start if the fonts are missing.
This is fixed by adding the package to the depends for smc-data.
