Public bug reported:
Version information: postgis package 1.5.2-1 and later in any of the
currently released distributions up to saucy, and in the current
development distribution trustry
To reproduce: sudo apt-get install postgis
Expected: No X-related libraries are proposed for installation.
Observed: All of the following otherwise unneeded libraries are installed:
fontconfig fontconfig-config hicolor-icon-theme libatk1.0-0 libatk1.0-data
libavahi-client3 libavahi-common-data libavahi-common3 libcairo2 libcups2
libdatrie1 libfontconfig1 libfreetype6 libgcrypt11 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-common libgtk2.0-0 libgtk2.0-bin libgtk2.0-common libjasper1
libjpeg-turbo8 libjpeg8 libpango1.0-0 libpixman-1-0 libthai-data libthai0
libtiff4 libxcb-render0 libxcb-shm0 libxcomposite1 libxcursor1 libxdamage1
libxfixes3 libxft2 libxi6 libxinerama1 libxrandr2 libxrender1 ttf-dejavu-core
The presence of shp2pgsql-gui forces postgis to depend on libgtk2.0-0
which depends on a bunch of X client libraries, which are not really
welcome on any headless production database server.
shp2pgsql-gui should be packaged separately, installed only by people
who really need a gui for such a task as SHAPE to PostGIS conversion.
