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.
