Kuroo works fine with another diff utility such as kde-base/kompare, however, so the dependency should be removed (kuroo works fine without a diff utility, albeit etc-update functionality is then unavailable), or changed to be on "any diff-tool" or similar (I don't know if this is feasible).
The problem is that kuroo expects kdiff3 and without it the functionality does not work without user configuration. I have asked them if they could implement a run time check for kdiff3, then kompare then whatever and then we could do an || depend on the available diff utilities. Until that functionality is added I think the best solution is what we have right now. If I get chance I will try to look into how hard it would be to address this in a more satisfactory fashion.
