Thanks for your quick reply. I hope we are reasonably sure that *no* packages outside of main are used to build the binary packages intended for main! The output of $ ldd $(which conky) on my system (where conky-std is now installed) seems to indicate that the nvidia stuff is *not* linked with conky. But that's not surprising, since I only have "main" repositories configured and conky-std installed fine (no missing dependencies) and can be started with no complaints of missing libraries. Are there any other checks that may be performed? > > Looks like a separate conky-all source package is no longer needed.
