Description Jarkko 2008-12-21 20:08:14 UTC

A server PHP application needs ImageMagick for image manipulation stuff. When I say "yum install ImageMagick" I get quite a long list of desktop related packages... 77 packages (37M) - there's even esound and alsa-lib on the list (installing a graphics package causes sound packages to be installed).

That happens because librsvg2 (which ImageMagick requires) wants to install gnome-vfs2 (GNOME related libraries).

I don't think a generic library, which isn't a GNOME library, should require GNOME libraries. Now that it does, a server ends up having desktop - and even sound - packages.

This seems not to be just a simple SPEC file issue because I can see that librsvg2 is linked against libgnomevfs-2.so.0. Though I wonder why? Is that correct - that a generic library links against GNOME?

In Fedora 9 librsvg2 (librsvg2-2.22.2-1.fc9) is not linked against libgnomevfs-2.so.0 anymore and doesn't say it requires gnome-vfs2. This has changed somewhere after librsvg2-2.18.2-2.fc8 (which still requires gnome-vfs2).

Could the change be backported to the version of librsvg2 (currently librsvg2-2.16.1-1.el5) in el5? It would be nice because now we get unnecessary desktop/sound packages when installing librsvg2. Thanks.

Oh sorry, I made a duplicate. Closing this one...

I wonder what actually has changed in the Fedora 9 version of librsvg2 because the SPEC file there does have --enable-gnome-vfs and still that version doesn't require libgnomevfs-2.so.0. The line "gnome-vfs2 >= %{gnome_vfs_version}" is gone though. Perhaps the newer version doesn't use libgnomevfs-2.so.0 anymore at all...


Oh, I can't close this bug:

"You tried to change the Status field from NEW  to CLOSED  , but only a user with the required permissions may change that field."

So I had to leave this as NEW.
