Package: libavogadro2-1 Version: 1.93.1-3 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, we observer that package libavogadro2-1 contains 250 MB of unused static libraries at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/avogadro2/staticplugins on Debian Bullseye (for comparison, in Bookworm approx. 400 MB). For comparison, e.g. in OpenSuSE the corresponding package is some MBs: https://software.opensuse.org/package/libAvogadro1 . I suspect this is caused by the default option being used in Avogadro builds at https://github.com/OpenChemistry/avogadrolibs/blob/df2c8f7f75712e15103b3cb00dbf33e115d12b97/avogadro/qtplugins/CMakeLists.txt#L16 At least on our system, libavogadro2-1 is depended on mostly by Kalzium, which ldd reveals to link to libAvogadroQtPlugins.so.1, which seems to contain all the static libraries at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/avogadro2/staticplugins already linked in. Removing the whole /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/avogadro2/staticplugins directory doesn't seem to affect Kalzium's (molecular editor's) functionality. I assume the statically built plugins serve actually no purpose for non-development use. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable'), (100, 'bullseye-fasttrack') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.18.0-0.deb11.4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=fi Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libavogadro2-1 depends on: ii libarchive13 3.4.3-2+deb11u1 ii libc6 2.31-13+deb11u4 ii libgcc-s1 10.2.1-6 ii libglew2.1 2.1.0-4+b1 ii libglx0 1.3.2-1 ii libhdf5-103-1 1.10.6+repack-4+deb11u1 ii libopengl0 1.3.2-1 ii libqt5concurrent5 5.15.2+dfsg-9 ii libqt5core5a 5.15.2+dfsg-9 ii libqt5gui5 5.15.2+dfsg-9 ii libqt5network5 5.15.2+dfsg-9 ii libqt5widgets5 5.15.2+dfsg-9 ii libstdc++6 10.2.1-6 ii libsymspg1 1.16.1-1 ii python3 3.9.2-3 libavogadro2-1 recommends no packages. libavogadro2-1 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
