Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mplayer
On ubuntu natty 64bit mplayer has wrong hard dependencies on
openjdk-6-jre-headless
openjdk-6-jre-lib
java-common
tzdata-java
default-jre-headless
ca-certificates-java
I guess this is all because of libbluray0
So an mplayer installation will take about 96MB ! (I have libav... and
ffmepg already installed though)
I used to have mplayer as a lightweight versatile movie player, which I
can start from the terminal.
I guess these HUGE dependencies are about libbluray0.
Please move these to 'recommended', or even better to 'suggested' but not as a
hard dependency.
Or fix it in the libbluray0 dependencies.
Steps to reproduce:
$ sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends mplayer
