Public bug reported: Binary package hint: latencytop
$ aptitude show latencytop Package: latencytop State: installed Automatically installed: no Version: 0.5 Priority: extra Section: universe/utils Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com> Uncompressed Size: 119k Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0), libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.8.0), libncursesw5 (>= 5.6+20071006-3) However, latencytop works perfectly fine without an X display and as such, should not require libgtk2.0-0 as a dependency (probably no libglib2.0-0 either). Example: $ DISPLAY= sudo latencytop The package "latencytop" should be split into two packages, the "latencytop" package should contain dependencies to run from console only and "latencytop-gui" should be the current package with GUI frontend. Currently there's no sane way to install latencytop on an Ubuntu server (installing all gtk dependencies just to run the console version of latencytop is not sane). An alternative way would be to set libgtk2.0-0 as a Recommended package and not as a required one. In that case, the latencytop binary should be dynamically linked with libgtk2.0-0 at a runtime to allow it to execute without libgtk2.0-0 package installed.
