Control: reassign -1 apt
Hi Nick and apt people,
I see in binwalk control file:
Depends: libmagic1, python-lzma, python-lzo, python-matplotlib, python-numpy,
python-opengl, python-pyqtgraph, python-qt4, python-qt4-gl, python-scipy,
${misc:Depends}, ${python:Depends}
Recommends: arj, bzip2, cramfsprogs, cramfsswap, gzip, mtd-utils, ncompress,
p7zip, p7zip-full, sleuthkit, squashfs-tools, tar
So I think we already have something minimal as depends.
I did the follow on a clean sid chroot:
apt-get install binwalk --no-install-recommends
vlc is picked up.
I did
apt-get install libmagic1 python-lzma python-lzo python-matplotlib python-numpy
python-opengl python-pyqtgraph python-qt4 python-qt4-gl python-scipy
vlc isn't picked up
after I did apt-get install binwalk --no-install-recommends.
binwalk has been installed without vlc.
So seems something strange in apt resolver is giving you this bug, not binwalk
BTW when you install binwalk, it drags vlc, and if you remove vlc it does print:
apt-get remove vlc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
phonon phonon-backend-vlc python-pyside python-pyside.phonon vlc
(it doesn't ask to remove binwalk)
really strange, I'm reassigning to apt, maybe they know what is going on and
have better clues than me.
cheers,
Gianfranco

Package: binwalk
Version: 2.0.1+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Hi...
Just tried to install binwalk on a bunch of headless systems. The quantity
of deps pulled in made it impossible on at least one system, and undesirable
on others.
Given that the binwalk install.md states that besides a Python interpreter,
all deps are optional, would it be possible to make the qt & graphical libs
into recommends?
Most use of binwalk is likely just "binwalk fwimage", and does not need
pyqtgraph etc., and pulling it all - qt libs, extraneous python libs, vlc,
gstreamer plugins... - in makes the package unusable in at least some cases.
Cheers,
Nick
