Package: orpie Version: 1.5.1-8 Severity: normal
When installing orpie (unpacked 2 MB), aptitude demands that more than 120 MB worth of other packages also to be installed. After using Orpie on systems other than Debian, I know that this is not normal. Something has gone wrong in the creation of this package. I know of a statically linked version of Orpie on the website <http://pessimization.com/software/orpie/>. With a size of a couple of MB -- it's a much tastier version of Orpie in my situation. Thus, I install it with: $ sudo curl http://pessimization.com/software/orpie/orpie-1.4.0-static-i386.tar.gz | tar xzv -C / But when I try to run the staticly linked version of Orpie in Squeeze, I'm faced with: $ orpie Error opening terminal: screen. After searching, I've learned that Squeeze is missing links as: /usr/share/terminfo/s/screen -> /lib/terminfo/s/screen /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm -> /lib/terminfo/x/xterm ... .. So, $ sudo ln -s /lib/terminfo/s/screen /usr/share/terminfo/s/screen $ sudo ln -s /lib/terminfo/x/xterm /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm Voilà, the statically linked version (i386) of Orpie works excellent in Squeeze (on amd64). (I do not understand why aptitude demanded that OCaml had to be installed in order to install Orpie. Is it a requirement for _usage_ of newer versions of Orpie? I thought OCaml only was needed for compilation.) At least also provide a staticly linked version of Orpie (after all, it's only 2-3 MB).
