Hello,
now that qemu-system has been packaged in diferent files for each emulated
architecture, we may change Depends to Recommends and install only the
architectures that we need,
for example, if an user only wants that qemu emulates only x86 architecture,
he saves 104MB of disk space:
sed -i -re '\|^Dep(ends: qemu-system-arm, qemu-system-mips, qemu-system-
ppc)| s||Recomm\1|' /var/lib/dpkg/status
aptitude -y purge qemu-system-arm qemu-system-mips qemu-system-ppc qemu-slof
qemu-system-sparc qemu-system-misc # qemu-system-x86
The following packages will be REMOVED:
qemu-slof{p} qemu-system-arm{p} qemu-system-mips{p} qemu-system-misc{p}
qemu-system-ppc{p}
qemu-system-sparc{p}
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 6 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 104 MB will be freed.

Removing qemu-system-ppc ...
Removing qemu-slof ...
Removing qemu-system-arm ...
Removing qemu-system-mips ...
Removing qemu-system-misc ...
Removing qemu-system-sparc ...
Processing triggers for man-db ...
This could be even better if when reconfiguring the qemu-system package, a
multiselect list will be shown to the administrator and he chooses some of the
architectures or all of that,
Kind regards,
Jordi Pujol
