Details

Description:
Release 1.1.6-1 has dependency of libusbmuxd; the problem is that e.g. ifuse requires the actual usbmuxd binary to be installed.
For systems in which the package was already installed, the result is that libusbmuxd is fetched, but usbmuxd is kept (although orphaned).
For new installs, ifuse (and every idevice___ binary that I have tested) is not capable of communicating with the device.

In summary, usbmuxd package should be a dependency of libimobiledevice

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
Remove usbmuxd, libusbmuxd and libimobiledevice packages.
Install libimobiledevice.
Plug the device.
Run ideviceinfo (or any other libimobiledevice binary). It will fail
This task depends upon

usbmuxd depends on libimobiledevice, adding a dependency would create a loop. I looked up the package on debian, they have a "recommends" on usbmuxd instead (apt-get installs recommends by default, we don't have such a feature).

Technically we should just create the loop and make it depend on usbmuxd, as long as we don't use versioned depends it's won't be a pain to update this in the future.
