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.
