cdparanoia is a dependency of skype?

Why? I thought cdparanoia is for ripping cd's?

I am installing on a netbook, no cd drive, and am looking for a very slim installation.

Re: cdparanoia is a dependency of skype?

According to the pkgbuild  one of the depends is qt.  One of the depends of QT is gstreamer0.10-base-plugins  which has cdparanoia as a depend.
You may like to look into another build of skype in the main repository or AUR which does  not require QT.

Skype being closed source, you cannot recompile it. You can however use ABS to recompile QT or recompile gstreamer to not depend on cdparanoia.

That being said, is it really a big deal? Pacman says that cdparanoia is 370Kb on my machine. That's hardly worrisome...

It's not a problem at all, just wondering why. I have a fairly fresh arch install and I am going through it all seeing what dependencies are installed with what, and trying to get rid of those I have absolutely no need for. No doubt I will end up breaking my system

There's a "whoneeds" script in pkgtools that should help you.
