This bug requested alsa-utils not to depend upon python, since it is of large size. The ability to install using python-minimal seems a useful thing.
However, the trade to python-minimal means that alsa-utils pulls in the undesired python-minimal on my system in addition to python, which I already have installed. There is the (small) cost of disk overhead for the useless python-minimal, and more importantly the configuration overhead of having multiple versions of python on my system which are not desired. I believe the dependency for this package may better be expressed as "python | python-minimal". Thanks for your packaging efforts, and the ceaseless requests of us bug commentators. -josh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
