Package: povray Version: 1:3.7.0.8-1+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
At the moment trying to install povray pacakges brings this: root@debian:~# apt install povray Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following additional packages will be installed: libasound2 libasound2-data libasyncns0 libboost-atomic1.67.0 libboost-system1.67.0 libboost-thread1.67.0 libcaca0 libflac8 libice6 libogg0 libpulse0 libsdl1.2debian libsm6 libsndfile1 libvorbis0a libvorbisenc2 libx11-6 libx11-data libx11-xcb1 libxau6 libxcb1 libxdmcp6 libxext6 libxi6 libxtst6 povray-includes x11-common Suggested packages: libasound2-plugins alsa-utils pulseaudio povray-doc povray-examples The following NEW packages will be installed: libasound2 libasound2-data libasyncns0 libboost-atomic1.67.0 libboost-system1.67.0 libboost-thread1.67.0 libcaca0 libflac8 libice6 libogg0 libpulse0 libsdl1.2debian libsm6 libsndfile1 libvorbis0a libvorbisenc2 libx11-6 libx11-data libx11-xcb1 libxau6 libxcb1 libxdmcp6 libxext6 libxi6 libxtst6 povray povray-includes x11-common 0 upgraded, 28 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 5,794 kB of archives. After this operation, 21.3 MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] ^C root@debian:~# The fact that it pulls libasound2 and libpulse0 is not the end of the world, but it would be nice to be able to install povray without them. Similarly without x11 dependencies pulled via libsdl1.2debian. It would be nice to be able to maybe have povray-headless, that doesn't include sdl, x11 or audio output support? Similar to gnuplut-nox package is doing.
