Package: libcairo2 Version: 1.12.14-5 Severity: normal File: cairo The recent update to libcairo2 brought in an large number of unwanted gui packages:
libdrm-intel1 (2.4.45-3) libdrm-nouveau2 (2.4.45-3) libdrm-radeon1 (2.4.45-3) libdrm2 (2.4.45-3) libegl1-mesa (9.1.3-6) libegl1-mesa-drivers (9.1.3-6) libgbm1 (9.1.3-6) libgl1-mesa-dri (9.1.3-6) libgl1-mesa-glx (9.1.3-6) libglapi-mesa (9.1.3-6) libllvm3.2 (3.2repack-7) libopenvg1-mesa (9.1.3-6) libpciaccess0 (0.13.1-2) libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0 (0~git20121227-1) libwayland-client0 (1.1.0-2) libwayland-server0 (1.1.0-2) libxcb-dri2-0 (1.9.1-2) libxcb-glx0 (1.9.1-2) libxcb-shape0 (1.9.1-2) libxcb-xfixes0 (1.9.1-2) libxdamage1 (1.1.3-2) libxfixes3 (5.0-4+deb7u1) libxxf86vm1 (1.1.2-1+deb7u1) Of those, only libllvm3.2 (brought in above due to mesa) might have any relevance on headless boxen. Cairo is a dep for a number of non-gui packages for its pdf/ps/svg output, such as gnuplot-nox and gd (and perhaps emacs*-nox in the future). Gd, in particular, is frequently used for reports (such as by rrd) on even small headless boxen. Gnuplot-nox is similarly important. That should not force in junk like wayland, x11 libs and mesa. And they are junk on headless systems. Whether it requires separate, blocking libcairo2-nox and libcairo2 packages, or separate related packages matching each of the cairo-foo pkgconfig files, or one package for everything w/o gui deps and another for everything with gui deps, deb needs to elide the gui deps from non-gui uses of libcairo. The list of unnecessary packages makes for more than 90 Mo of disk waste. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libcairo2:amd64 depends on: ii libc6 2.17-5 ii libegl1-mesa [libegl1-x11] 9.1.3-6 ii libfontconfig1 2.9.0-7.1 ii libfreetype6 2.4.9-1.1 ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 9.1.3-6 ii libpixman-1-0 0.26.0-4 ii libpng12-0 1.2.49-4 ii libx11-6 2:1.5.0-1+deb7u1 ii libxcb-render0 1.9.1-2 ii libxcb-shm0 1.9.1-2 ii libxcb1 1.9.1-2 ii libxext6 2:1.3.1-2+deb7u1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.7-1+deb7u1 ii multiarch-support 2.17-5 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-1 libcairo2:amd64 recommends no packages. libcairo2:amd64 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
