debian package should not depend on open-cobol

[GitMensch]

OCIDE "works" even without the compiler and people may have own builds. I've installed it with dpkg --ignore-depends=open-cobol --install pathTo.dpkg and everything works fine but the system alerts the broken package.

OCIDE works but is pretty useless without a compiler. I don't agree it shouldn't depend on open-cobol. That doesn't prevent you from using custom builds installed in /usr/local or /opt isn't it?

[GitMensch]

It is still a nice COBOL editor without a compiler - and the open-cobol package (or a newer gnu-cobol package) or a version build from source will give it access to a compiler.
... and: most people that install OCIDE have either the old OpenCOBOL or a more recent version of GnuCOBOL installed already.

And yes: it still works with compilers in other places, I just didn't want to have the old compiler on my disk... (which I have to do as apt-get refused to install or update anything before the "broken package" - which was not broken but functioned well was "fixed" by installing the obsolete package).

Ok so maybe moving this dependency from "Depends" to "Recommends" or "Suggests" would be better.

I have no idea how these packages work, but "Suggests" sounds good :-)
