Public bug reported: Binary package hint: compiz
Hello! This is about Ubuntu Gutsy, up-to-date. I've thought about taking a look through Compiz's source, and I tried a simple "apt-get build-dep compiz". For some reason apt-get insisted on installing 200 megs of packages, including things like kdeprint, konqueror, and some media libraries (libvorbis?), which I'm pretty sure are not need to build Compiz. I don't use anything KDE-based except Amarok, so this adds a lot of cruft afterwards. Of course I can remove it by hand, but I think the problem should be solved at the source. $ sudo apt-get build-dep compiz [sudo] password for bogdanb: Reading package lists...
