Package: nmap
Version: 6.00-0.3+deb7u1
Severity: minor
nmap as an ncurses-based command line network discovery tool has some heavy and
unexpected dependencies since Debian has made installation of 'Recommends' the
default for packages
nmap Depends on liblinear1
liblinear1 Recommends liblinear-tools
liblinear-tools Recommends libsvm-tools
libsvm-tools Depends on gnuplot
gnuplot Depends on gnuplot-nox (or gnuplot-x11 or gnuplot-qt but I take the
lightest path)
gnuplot-nox Depends on libcairo2
libcairo2 Depends on libfontconfig1 and various libx*
libconfig1 Depends on fontconfig-config
fontconfig-config depends on a choice of four font packages
gnuplot-nox Recommends fonts-liberation
gnuplot-nox Recommends groff
groff Recommends ghostscript
groff Recommends imagemagick
imagemagick Depends on hicolor-icon-them and Depends and Recommends a bunch of
other cruft (from the point of view of nmap; it all makes sense for
imagemagick's purposes which are graphics creation/manipulation)

Control: fixed -1 liblinear/1.8+dfsg-2
Control: merge -1 714320
Several "Recommends:" entries in liblinear1 have been demoted to
"Suggests:" as of 1.8+dfsg-2. There should no longer be a problem with
nmap pulling in such a massive number of packages.
Cheers,
-Hilko
