Bug#580226: wkhtmltopdf: 0.9.0+ can run without an X server (package description is misleading)

I'm changing this to a wishlist bug to make wkhtmltopdf run without an X server eventually. Even if it never happens, this bug report can serve as a pointer to the following workaround: If you install the xvfb package, you can use the xvfb-run script like this, without a real X server running: $ xvfb-run wkhtmltopdf ... -Julian signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Hi Julian,
Unless for some reason the QT dependency chain within Debian still makes a
running X server necessary, the package description should be adjusted to
not say This program requires an X11 server to run.
Actually, wkhtmltopdf needs a patched QT to work without X. This patch is
provided by the upstream developer but it is not suitable for Debian.
Regards,
