deb: mythtv-frontend requires x11-xserver-utils #242

Description

@white-haired-uncle

After installing mythtv-frontend, mythfrontend(.sh) does not start due to missing xset.

I'm pretty far off the beaten path here. I'll come back and fill in details from a more vanilla build later.

Off hand, I don't see anything that would pull in x11-xserver-utils. My guess is there is a missing dependency that no one has seen because no one installs on a system that doesn't have a DE, no one installs just mythtv-frontend (I see mythtv-backend depends on xterm, which might pull x11-xserver-utils), or both.

And I'm installing on Devuan from a package that may have been built on either Debian or Devuan (too many things going on atm). When I go to reproduce this I'll try to do it all on Debian 13 -- right now I just need to get it down before I forget.

whu@dev5$ mythfrontend
/usr/bin/mythfrontend: 21: xset: not found
(on Devuan 6, xset comes from x11-xserver-utils)

(Ignore the hostname, it's Devuan 6 upgraded from D5 while testing something completely unrelated)

P.S. If it is missing, check ansible as well.
