As per comment 9, upstream has closed this bug. My mistake :P They did however make the following comment
".... the packages are valid dependencies, as finch can link with X libraries for some of its optional features and libpurple can use D-Bus. Surely, however, most of those packages are only recommended and can be avoided by the use of `apt-get --no-install-recommends install finch`." Perhaps this isn't a bug after all? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395001 Title: apt-get install of finch requires X11 (deps wrong) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
