Package: xlibs-data Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-5 Severity: wishlist xlibs-data contains some things which are essenstial for running most X programs, while other things in it tka up a lot of space, and are rarely used. The package takes up almost 7.5 MB of disk space, out of which 4 MB are cursors in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/ (only two or three default cursors should be in the main package, the rest in xlibs-data-extra for example), and half a meg of stuff in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps/ and /usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps/ which I don't think I ever use, while I use X (I use the ion3 window manager).
libx11-6 package (which I need because GTK+ depends on it) desription states: "libx11-6 depends on xlibs-data for locale data and the X error and keysym databases", and these are almost the only things I need from xlibs-data (+ two or three default cursors). So please leave only that in xlibs-data, which will make it's installed size about 40% of it's current installed size, and move the rest to a new package, for example xlibs-data-extra. Please don't tell me that 4 MB is "nothing" in the era of 200 GB hard drives - people want tu use flash disks as the only filesystem also in desktop computers, not just embedded (just because of their silentness, nothing else), and/or put a copy of the whole filesystem in RAM for speed, and then such a waste of diskpace matters. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i586) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-386 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
