Package: gparted Version: 0.3.8-1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
In my mini system, I want as minimum packages installed as possible, yet gparted is too good to omit. However, when I tried to install it: $ aptitude install gparted Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Reading extended state information Initializing package states... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: busybox{a} dbus{a} dbus-x11{a} gparted hal{a} hal-info{a} initramfs-tools{a} klibc-utils{a} libcairomm-1.0-1{a} libdbus-glib-1-2{a} libdirectfb-extra{a} libglibmm-2.4-1c2a{a} libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a{a} libhal-storage1{a} libklibc{a} libparted1.8-10{a} libsmbios-bin{a} libsmbios2{a} libsplashy1{a} pm-utils{a} powermgmt-base{a} radeontool{a} uswsusp{a} vbetool{a} 0 packages upgraded, 24 newly installed, 0 to remove and 9 not upgraded. Need to get 4758kB/5321kB of archives. After unpacking 15.0MB will be used. Are all above dependencies really necessary? To me, I don't think I need packages like busybox dbus dbus-x11 powermgmt-base radeontool uswsusp vbetool etc just in order to use gparted. Can we make all those unnecessary "Depends" as "Suggests"?
