Description Flags
spec file changes to not require gnome-vfs none

Description Greg Swallow 2007-03-08 21:07:35 UTC 
Ditto for RHEL5 beta2.  Seems rather unnecessary for a server without X.  I 
tried to install ImageMagick-perl (and ImageMagick) and it wanted to install 
50 packages in total.  Trying to install just librsvg2 pulls in 29 packages.


+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #212478 +++

I was about to upgrade a trimmed-down, headless FC5 PVR box to FC6, and 
noticed that the upgrade wanted to pull in lots of GNOME related things.  I 
need ImageMagick on that box, and it turns out that the almost-certain culprit 
is the librsvg2 support/dependency in it which has been added in FC6.

ImageMagick seems to have some internal practically dependencyless SVG 
support, but when librsvg2 support is additionally built in, it seems to 
result in these packages recursively being pulled in in my setup which I have 
no need for and which were not required in FC5:

GConf2
ORBit2
audiofile
avahi
avahi-glib
dbus-python
esound
gamin
gnome-keyring
gnome-mime-data
gnome-mount
gnome-vfs2
libIDL
libXres
libart_lgpl
libbonobo
libcroco
libdaemon
libglade2
libgnome
libgnomecanvas
libgnomeui
libgsf
libnotify
librsvg2
libutempter
libwnck
libxslt
notification-daemon
startup-notification

There might be some false positives in that list, but most of them seem to be 
directly caused by librsvg2.  I don't know what building ImageMagick with it 
is needed for, but the amount of inflicted dependencies (~30 packages) sure 
feels excessive to me...
Comment 1 Greg Swallow 2007-03-08 21:27:32 UTC 
Actually, the problem could be blamed instead on librsvg2, which requires 
gnome-vfs2 - If I install gnome-vfs2, that pulls in 26 packages.  I am going 
to change the component of this bug report to librsvg2.

spec file changes to not require gnome-vfs

Here's a patch of changes to the specfile that removes the gnome-vfs
requirement.  I don't know if it breaks anything else that requires librsvg2 -
I'll leave that up to you to check that.
Comment 3 Greg Swallow 2007-03-08 23:42:28 UTC 
The patch was for the rawhide version - Maybe the bug should be cloned to 
rawhide?  I will leave that up to you, as I am not sure if the change is ok or 
not.
