Package: xml-core Version: 0.15 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch yakkety
Hello, xml-core currently depends on perl, but there is no reason for this: update-xmlcatalog only uses File::Spec and Getopt::Long, both of which are in perl-base. dh_installxmlcatalogs is a debhelper plugin and thus depends on debhelper; it also does not import anything directly from perl/libperl. This helps to remove perl from smaller installations where xml-core itself is hard to avoid (as it's a recommends of libxml2). Patch against Debian packaging git attached.
