 This has to stop - the dependency tree is gone mad.
 
 I just selected xpdf-1.01-4 from cooker and it threw
 up a load of packages that are required for xpdf.
 
 The final package on the list is xkobo
 
 I don't mind that I've got to install libraries to get
 a package working - but needing aspell,
 blackbox ?? groff-for-man ?? libpg* ? swig ??
 just so I can view pdf docs !
 
 Madness !

Under Cooker, librairies get upgraded often.
If you need the latest version of a lib for installaing your package, it will get 
updated 
and all applications using this lib will also get updated. That doesn't mean your 
package 
needs all this apps.
