[SOLVED] Dependencies: GTK finally depends on e2fsprogs !

GTK2 --> CUPS --> krb2 --> e2fsprogs.

Does it suggest install GTK means install EXT2/3/4, even I use reiserfs ?

I see it ridiculous.

Re: [SOLVED] Dependencies: GTK finally depends on e2fsprogs !

why is ridiculous if the dependency is legit?

krb5 links to libcom_err.so.2 and libss.so, which are in e2fsprogs. In Arch we don't split packages into libfoo, libbar like other distros

/usr/bin/kadmin -- libcom_err.so.2

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: [SOLVED] Dependencies: GTK finally depends on e2fsprogs !

It seems the dependency is not being settled out properly.

Just see the result, I get GTK3 depends on EXT2/3/4 file system. That is to say the GUI tools has a dependency on a specific file system. If I don't install this file system, I can't use the GUI tools.

See QT ? It does very well on this topic. No dependency on a specific file system.

I guess the dependency triky should lay on krb5, not GTK3.

krb5 is a "The Kerberos network authentication system". But it depends on EXT2/3/4 file system.

You, sir, do not know what you're talking about.

$pacman -Qi e2fsprogs | grep Description
Description    : Ext2/3/4 filesystem utilities

You are not 'forced' to use any filesystem. e2fsprogs is a set of utilities, and wonder has already explained why it is required.

Re: [SOLVED] Dependencies: GTK finally depends on e2fsprogs !

It does *not* depend on a filesystem, but on a package.

Edit: There's a thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=126730 about potentially unnecessary dependencies and it seems the space-savings are not worth the hassle. If you disagree, you can always use ABS to compile your own, tailor-made set of packages.
If you do find a dependency that's not needed (or can be moved to optional dependencies), please file a bug report for that package.

If you want to rebuild for a 2,5 MB package... Go ahead.
