It is in the seed as a build-dependency of vlc (the full dependency chain is: samba <- vlc <- efl <- dbus-c++ <- libffado <- jack-audo-connection-kit <- pulseaudio). The guiding principle is that we should keep whatever (build-)dependency trees that are required to support the packages which are mandatory to keep, as long as these dependencies are reasonable to maintain, while introducing delta on a minimum number of packages, and without unreasonably diminishing the functionality of the compatibility library packages. pandoc is not supportable because it's haskell, so must be cut. rdma-core is uninteresting on i386 and has a single reverse-dependency (ceph) so can be cut. ceph is uninteresting on i386 and has a single reverse-dependency (samba) so can be cut. samba is in the seed because of vlc, but it also has gvfs-backends as an unseeded binary dependency. So dropping samba would require changing two source packages instead of one. Therefore I recommend keeping samba in and changing it to not pull in ceph on i386. > - removing cephfs dependency for samba i386 is straight-forward and better > option; > - it would free ceph to be removed, or not, independently; > - if ceph is kept for i386, more work would need to be done; Once samba has been updated to drop the build-dependency on ceph for i386, ceph will be (more or less) automatically removed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1858479 Title: rdma-core needs to skip pandoc on i386 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rdma-core/+bug/1858479/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
