Description rsdnw 2014-10-31 08:52:46 UTC
Description of problem:

Surfraw unecessarily depends on GNU screen. This could irk tmux and dvtm+dtach users. The debian package only suggests screen, as although "use surfraw with a terminal multiplexer" is a useful tip, many users do not care for screen. Recommending a terminal multiplexer should be moved to the package's description.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.2.9

How reproducible:
Install surfraw without having screen installed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make sure you do not have GNU screen installed
2. run "yum install surfraw" as root
3. don't allow yum to continue

Actual results:
Surfraw depends on screen

Expected results:
Surfraw does not depend on screen

Additional info:
Who uses screen anyways?
