Package: ruby-arel Version: 3.0.2-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch ruby-arel depends on ruby-minitest and ruby-hoe, which are only build dependencies (development dependencies in rubygems terms), and are not required in runtime. This forces the installation of unecessary packages when ruby-arel installaed.
For example, due to #685330, right now installing e.g. rails3 pulls in ruby1.8 which is pulled by rubygems which is pulled by ruby-hoe, so you end up ruby1.8 even though it is not actually needed. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=pt_BR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ruby-arel depends on: ii ruby 4.9 ii ruby-hoe 3.0.3-2.1 ii ruby-minitest 3.2.0-1 ii ruby1.8 [ruby-interpreter] 1.8.7.358-4 ii ruby1.9.1 [ruby-interpreter] 1.9.3.194-1 ruby-arel recommends no packages. ruby-arel suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Antonio Terceiro <terce...@debian.org>
