Is really all of this necessary?? A C and C++ compiler, make, dev packages etc, etc? All the python packages is "bad enough" but all the others? And is ALL of the python packages need for the client? I'd like/need to install this on an instance (to be able to automatically update the DNS record for the instance if/when it is reprovisioned), but that's impossible with the huge dependency list. PS. I was considering putting this as a 'whishlist'. Feel free to downgrade it, but don't close it (without a very good reason - the huge dependency list IS a problem, but not nessesarily a 'normal' issue). -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages python-designateclient depends on: ii python-cliff 1.15.0-4 ii python-debtcollector 1.3.0-2 ii python-jsonschema 2.5.1-5 ii python-keystoneclient 1:2.3.1-2 ii python-oslo.utils 3.11.0-1 ii python-pbr 1.8.0-4.1 ii python-requests 2.10.0-2 ii python-six 1.10.0-3 ii python-stevedore 1.12.0-1 pn python:any <none> python-designateclient recommends no packages. python-designateclient suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
