Package: libxine1
Version: 1.1.8-1
Severity: wishlist
Hi!
I suppose what I'm asking for is just the oposite of #439389, for me it
doesn't look right that upgrading the libxine1 package adds all this to my
system:
pul:~# apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:

libxine1
1 upgraded, 51 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/14.0MB of archives.
After unpacking 46.0MB of additional disk space will be used.
As you can see my system doesn't have gnome installed and all the gnome
stuff is being installed, even more amazing is all the power management
tools that are being installed and the like.
I have tried to force the installation of just the libxine1-x part but some
of the libs I have like libxine1-ffmpeg and libxine1-xvdr and even xine-ui
itself depend on libxine1 so they get removed if I just install the -x
version of the lib.
I suppose that a solution is not simple here, but what about having the
libxine1 package depend on all the stuff but also the core libs like
libxine1-x provide something (libxine1?) on which the other packages using
the lib can depend so that one can install libxine1-whatever without
breaking the packages using this lib?
Regards...

Thanks for your analysis.
TBH, I've expected this behavior, and actually, we initially planned to
not have libxine1-plugins depend on libxine1-gnome. However, stable did
have all these plugins as dependencies. Since it is a requirement that
partial upgrades work, we cannot loosen them until lenny release.
I'm closing this bug for now, since there is nothing that we can do for
lenny, and I won't forget this. however, thanks again for reporting
this and your pretty good analysis.
