Package: azote X-Debbugs-Cc: j...@bunsenlabs.org Version: 1.13.1-1 Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Installed the package azote (version 1.13.1-1) from the Debian Trixie repository. * What was the outcome of this action? A long list of dependencies was installed: on my system it came to 105 packages totalling 149MB. Most of these were dependencies of libgtk-3-dev, on which azote depends. * What outcome did you expect instead? Five or six dependencies to be installed. * What exactly did you do that was effective? A fellow-worker rebuilt the .deb package with these dependencies: python3:any, python3, python3-pil, python3-send2trash, python3-cairo, libgtk-3-0t64, swaybg | feh, wlr-randr | x11-xserver-utils This installed and ran with no apparent problems. I think it's unusual for a binary package to depend on a developer package; in particular libgtk-3-dev pulls in a long list of sub-dependencies. Maybe the maintainer could track down the exact packages needed for azote to run, and declare those dependencies directly? -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.11.5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)libgtk-3-dev LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages azote depends on: ii libgtk-3-dev 3.24.43-4 ii python3 3.12.6-1 Versions of packages azote recommends: ii feh 3.10.2-1 ii grim 1.4.0+ds-2+b1 pn libayatana-appindicator-dev <none> ii python3-yaml 6.0.2-1 ii swaybg 1.2.1-1 ii wlr-randr 0.4.1-1 ii x11-xserver-utils 7.7+10+b1 azote suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- John
