But, if not having libwww-perl installed breaks parts of xscreensaver, doesn't that call for a Depends? I would agree to Recommends if the functionality in question would be disabled gracefully, but for now some screensavers just fail and spew out an error message. I do however share your interest in keeping dependencies minimal, so if we can improve this I am all ears. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
