[solved] leptonica 1.69-1 update wants to install gtk2 + other crap

Why does this update depends on all that? Version 1.68-3 works without all these deps.

My setup is a headless Server. So i really don't need/want gtk..
Another point is the large memory footprint - i don't have that much space (at least i want to use it otherwise )!!

Targets (23): atk-2.4.0-1  compositeproto-0.4.2-2  gd-2.0.36RC1-5
              gdk-pixbuf2-2.26.1-1  gnuplot-4.6.0-3  gstreamer0.10-0.10.36-1
              gstreamer0.10-base-0.10.36-1  gtk-update-icon-cache-2.24.10-3
              gtk2-2.24.10-3  leptonica-1.69-1  libcups-1.5.3-5
              libwebp-0.1.3-2  libxcomposite-0.4.3-2  libxcursor-1.1.13-1
              libxinerama-1.1.2-1  libxrandr-1.3.2-2  libxv-1.0.7-1
              lua-5.1.5-2  randrproto-1.3.2-2  shared-mime-info-1.0-1
              videoproto-2.3.1-2  wxgtk-2.8.12.1-3  xineramaproto-1.2.1-2

Total Download Size:    18.65 MiB
Total Installed Size:   127.63 MiB
Net Upgrade Size:       119.81 MiB

Any suggestions?
Last resort - how to permanently ignore this update with pacman?

thank you

leptonica depends on gnuplot, and gnuplot depends on wxgtk. That pulls gtk in. I am pretty sure that gnuplot can be compiled without that dependency. Since there are only a few releases of gnuplot, it is maybe the easiest way to go to build a customized gnuplot and use that.

thank you for the explanation. strange though, that previous versions didn't rely on gnuplot.
i think i will just stick with 1.68-3 ..

Check the wiki page for pacman on how to hold back the package.

I am the Debian package maintainer for Leptonica, and was pointed to this thread by the author of Leptonica. Leptonica does not need gnuplot. Remove the dependency.

chibby, I think you should point the package maintainer for Leptonica on
Arch Linux to this discussion.  That appears to be Sergej Pupykin.

This obviously has been fixed in pgkrel 2
