Bug#238368: Ugly workaround

[Matas Costa]

The dependency is automatically generated 
by /usr/lib/kde3/kopete_nowlistening.so.

Workaround:

# mkdir kopete/DEBIAN
# dpkg --extract kopete_XXX_i386.deb kopete
# dpkg --control kopete_XXX_i386.deb kopete/DEBIAN

Edit kopete/DEBIAN/control and remove libglib1.2, libgtk1.2 and xmms. 
Optionaly you can change the name to disable automatic upgrading.

# dpkg -b kopete mykopete.deb
# dpkg -i mykopete.deb

In my system works, but yours can explode.

BTW, if I make a patch to split the package, is there any chance to be 
applied?

Bug#238368:

[Wolfgang Mader]

Seems like a pain, but it might be worth doing. However, why not wait  
until post-Sarge, to avoid NEW processing just before the release? 
Nobody knows when Sarge will be released. So it would be nice to have 
packages for kopete witch split the xmms dependency away. 
I would really apreacheate to use kopete.
