I suppose that the dependency should be on ocaml-base-nox. Not sure. It is either libdbi-ocaml or libpcre-ocaml which pull it in. A bit of checking shows : Package: libpcre-ocaml Maintainer: Stefano Zacchiroli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 5.08.1-1 Depends: ocaml-base-3.08, libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libpcre3 (>= 4.5) So this is pcre which is problematic, i believe. I have the impression that pcre is pure string checking, and thus needs only ocaml-base-nox-3.08, but please someone check it and i will NMU.

No idea about this one. libpcre-ocaml-dev does the right -nox thingy, but it pulls in libpcre-ocaml. about postgresql, no idea, but apt-cache is your friend.
