Thanks! This revealed 33 packages currently build-depending on gs-common: autoclass bacula-doc cdbs cl-yacc dejagnu dieharder doc-debian-es flite fpc freepops geda-symbols graphviz ijs ivritex kmymoney2 latex-mk log4c magnus multimix musixtex-slurps numerix opensched pmx proxy-suite snort texpower thailatex tipa transfig wordnet xen-3 xorp ifeffit/contrib ...in addition to the (now verified) 3 packages depending on gs-common: page-crunch latex-make zope-textindexng3 Build-dependencies ignore recommends. So it seems we cannot avoid at least one circular dependency if dealing with this issue by having ghostscript depend on gs-common. If someone could check those build-dependencies for possible need of the X11 driver, we can at least get rid of one circular dependency, and avoid forcing X11 on all ghostscript users for the next 2 release cycles. - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkkQ1i8ACgkQn7DbMsAkQLgpHACdFo8jaFrFwT6lJlFp92ZB6k1T qv8AnRoe+yDlr28BTggYijruiA3seVTa =3hon -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
