Bug#519395: gnuplot-nox: depends indirectly on a lot of X libraries

[Michiel Scholten]

Just wanted to chime in that I have the same issue; the dependency on
libcairo2 likely doesn't help either. Too bad it happened in a minor
release too.

It would be really nice if this could be resolved, as 24.7MB of extra
(X-related) packages (64.4MB unpacked) is really unneeded on my
headless VPS.

Thanks in advance and always happy to test!

Regards,
Michiel

Bug#519395: gnuplot-nox: depends indirectly on a lot of X libraries

[Beat Bolli]

Package: gnuplot-nox
Version: 4.2.4-5
Severity: minor

Probably because of the change to libwxgtk2.8, gnuplot-nox now pulls in
libraries like libglu1-mesa, libgstreamer0.10-0 and 
libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0,
which shouldn't be needed on a headless, X11-less server.
