Package: unixodbc-dev
Version: 2.2.4-11
Severity: wishlist
Hi Steve,
actually it happened that I have just wanted to install unixodbc-dev
and found that it would draw in a lot of gnome libraries.
On closer inspection this was the depencency of gtkodbcconfig0.
Unixodbc seems usefull without GUI's and it is useful for GUIs where
you do not depend on the full GNOME or KDE libraries.
So I would wish for a seperate packages of the QT and GTK/GNOME dependent
parts and make them optional in the dependencies.
I also saw the comment you have made in the Changelog:
unixodbc (2.2.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix libgtkodbcconfig so that it's properly linked against
libs it depends on. Correspondingly move this helper lib to its
own package, so no one screams at me for forcing the installation
of libesd on their servers.
Maybe that plan just technically did not work out and you just forgot
the remove the dependency? ;)
Best Regards,
Bernhard

Since the GUI components have been split out into a separate upstream
