[Mageia-dev] weird dependencies that i've seen

[nicolas.lecureuil at free.fr]

i have not answered to all, but nothing weird at all for me here, except if you want to recode all to remove  the deps you don't like.
 
1- xscreensaver is needed by kscreensaver, so nothing weird on the packaging side.
2- this is needed for skype, if we don't this will not work this is needed. 
3- Because the code doesn't use phonon but gstreamer, complain to qtwebkit devs. ( i think i don't tell mistakes here )
6- gwenview can use kipi-plugins so this is a suggests, this is not weird at all, this just show you write about stuff you don't know and softs you don't use ;)
7- hum this is normal.
8- this is normal this is to help to migrate windows accounts, so this is completly normal

Objet: [Mageia-dev] weird dependencies that i've seen

1. KDE requires gtk+
2. pulseaudio suggests it's i586 counterparts (plz don't)
3. qtwebkit requires gstreamer (not phonon)
4. KDE requires packagekit
5. hugin requires make
6. kipi-plugins suggested by gwenview
7. system-config-printer pulls in quite some gnome
8. transfugdrake required by userdrake
9. qtwebkit requires gnome-keyring

1. kdeartwork requires xscreensaver, which requires chgb, which requires gtk+
2. in spec file, requested for closed source 3rd party binaries that are 32bit
3. libqtwebkit requires gstreamer directly... why not phonon
4. libqtwebkit requires also gst-install-plugin-helper and requires packagekit
5. hugin directly requires make... why would a gui require a buildtool?
6. gwenview really uses all kipi-plugins?
7. gnome-icon-theme,gnome-python,gnome-python-gnomekeyring _required_ by s-c-p
system-config-printer MUST have a gnome keyring? that would be odd...
8. transfugdrake required by userdrake... odd
9. qtwebkit requires soup, requires lib64gnome-keyring, suggests gnome-keyring
