Package: libpango1.0-0 Version: 1.20.5-1 Severity: important
I need libpango as a dependency of librrd4 to generate graphics from rrdtool for output on a (monitoring) web server. Installing the current version of libpango1.0 would start introducing X11 libraries on to the system which would be completely unnecessary otherwise. I admit that I'm afraid to have a complete gnome system within 2 years of package upgrades. Either the description " four different font backends: ... - Direct rendering of scalable fonts using the FreeType library" or the dependency from libx11-6 and libxrender1 (and libx11-6 depending on x11-common in turn) seems to be at least bloating in some uses of the package. If the X11 dependency of some packages is achieved only by letting them depend on libpango, would there be some other way? (yes, I guess that this is not a package specific issue but rather a conceptual one). Or do I completely misunderstand something? regards Olaf -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libpango1.0-0 depends on: ii libc6 2.7-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries pn libcairo2 <none> (no description available) ii libdatrie0 0.1.1-4 Double-array trie library ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.5-1+b1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.4-2 The GLib library of C routines pn libpango1.0-common <none> (no description available) pn libthai0 <none> (no description available) pn libx11-6 <none> (no description available) pn libxft2 <none> (no description available) pn libxrender1 <none> (no description available) ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-8 compression library - runtime libpango1.0-0 recommends no packages. libpango1.0-0 suggests no packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
