There are plenty of hacks that allow one to do that locally, but the current Debian packaging doesn't allow that. > Sounds related to this bug - or should I file separately? Indeed, it is related, but not exactly the same: even once the D-Bus dependency is removed (which I plan to do), no doubt the dependency chain will still be too big for some use cases, as you're suggesting. So, this calls for a dedicated wishlist bug. [Off-topic, should go on that dedicated bug once it's been filed: It could be implemented in a few ways: (a) by splitting the binary package into three (parcimonie-common, parcimonie-daemon, and parcimonie-applet); (b) by demoting applet-specific dependencies to Recommends; (c) by adding a parcimonie-applet metapackage that depends on parcimonie and on the applet-specific dependencies (but in this case, parcimonie would need to "Recommends: parcimonie-applet" for one Debian release, to make the transition painless -- I'm assuming that *new* recommends get installed on upgrade by APT, which I didn't verify). Help is welcome implementing one of those.] Cheers, -- intrigeri -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
