[Trisquel-users] Re : Privacy in Trisquel

The dependency is indirect: GIMP depends on libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 that depends  
on libgeoclue0.

The Web content engine actually is optional, i.e., GIMP can be compiled  
without it but will then not have any "Help Browser". That is the way to go  
for somebody who insists on not having GIMP using libgeoclue0... but as you  
write, many other components of Trisquel's default install depend on  
libgeoclue0... and, as other users said, the fear of being spied just because  
libgeoclue0 is installed is irrational because it is free software and a  
spying function in it would certainly be known.
