Upstream (Pidgin) indicates the dependencies are valid and Upstream
(Debian) says talk to Pidgin so either way the end result is that the
author of the package indicates the depends are valid as such marking
this old bug invalid.

This doesn't seem to be an issue on 12.04 release. Should we tag it to
mark it specific to some Ubuntu versions?

It seems this issue is already known to Debian. Tracker updated with

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since
this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work,
I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.
Since finch is a command-line only IRC client, there should be no need
for any X11 depen
I just checked, and yes the (required) dependencies are still there in
Natty, again, only relevant in the server editions. So it's still a bug
for me.

I apologize, I no longer use Ubuntu as I have switched to Debian.
The dependencies involved are only needed for specific features, such as
audio alerts, so unless you want to take away those features, which I
see as unneeded for a cli chat client, this is not a bug and does not
need to be fixed.
The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the
live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Natty
Narwhal. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can
work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out
more about the
It's still a bug, see comment #2

As per comment 9, upstream has closed this bug. My mistake :P
They did however make the following comment
" the packages are valid dependencies, as finch can link with X
libraries for some of its optional features and libpurple can use D-Bus.
Surely, however, most of those packages are only
Dependencies are determined at the local level. This bug should not have
been sent to the upstream bug tracker. Please ask in #ubuntu-bugs on
freenode if you are unsure when triaging bugs.

I'm not sure this is an upstream bug, it seems to me to be more of a bug
for the (debian?) package maintainer...

Ok, you have a point. I'll reopen this report and forward it upstream.

This is not true.
See

You can disable all of these dependencies with a ./configure --disable-
gtkui etc.

Finch is just a CLI for Pidgin.
It uses all the same backends and all of those need their dependencies
filling. As such, a lot of garb you wouldn't be able to even use on a
headless server gets pulled in.
I don't think there's a clean way around that short of formally
separating the two projects
Then why, I ask, is gstreamer needed for a CLI instant messaging
application? Seems to be installing a bunch of otherwise unneeded
libraries...

Sorry, I didn't realise what Finch actually was when I made my last
comment. I've tested the installation on my server (Amazon EC2 with only
a few extra packages installed) and this is what I got:
The following extra packages will be installed:
gstreamer0.10-nice gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstr
Thanks a lot for reporting this, however I am unable to reproduce the
behaviour you describe. When I execute 'sudo apt-get install finch', the
only package that is installed is the 221kB finch package. Can you
please confirm whether or not this still affects you?

Tried installing on my 9.04 Ubuntu Server machine and balked at the long
list of dependencies.
with "--no-recommends" I get a shorter, but equally as bloatful list:
dbus dbus-x11 defoma finch fontconfig fontconfig-config gconf2 gconf2-common
gstreamer0.10-nice gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstre
22 matches
