Can you update the ''"Reported by:"'' field? ;-)
From !PolyBoRi's {{{SPKG.txt}}}:
{{{
...
== Dependencies ==
* Python
* Scons
* Boost
* gd (FIXME/TODO: should be added to deps, I think. Leif, 2010-07-10)
* M4RI/libm4ri (already included in deps)
* png/libpng12 (accomplished because Python and gd depend on it, too)
* libz (accomplished because e.g. libpng depends on it)
...
}}}
I must admit I did not check ''all'' transitive dependencies, i.e. if some
package that !PolyBoRi (indirectly) depends on pulls in the GD dependency.
Anyway, I think it's always better to add an explicit, perhaps "redundant"
dependency rather than to omit it, (not only) since the deps of other
packages might change over the time. (Same for explicitly linking against
libraries directly used despite other used libraries - ''currently'' -
already doing so.)
The only package in {{{standard/deps}}} that's listed to '''directly'''
depend on GD is {{{gdmodule}}}, which in turn is only listed as a (direct)
dependency of !MatPlotLib (and the Sage library).
