Package: xscreensaver-data Version: 5.15-3 Severity: wishlist xscreensaver is completely usable without installing all these additional perl packages:
The following NEW packages will be installed: libencode-locale-perl libfile-listing-perl libhtml-parser-perl libhtml-tagset-perl libhtml-tree-perl libhttp-cookies-perl libhttp-date-perl libhttp-message-perl libhttp-negotiate-perl libio-socket-ssl-perl liblwp-mediatypes-perl liblwp-protocol-https-perl libnet-http-perl libnet-ssleay-perl libwww-perl libwww-robotrules-perl xscreensaver xscreensaver-data In the changelog you referenced this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/971140 I don't even have xscreensaver-gl (where GLSlideshow comes from) installed, so installing libwww-perl etc only wastes disk space.
