Package: apt-file Version: 2.5.0 Severity: normal Tags: patch rapt-file depends on dpkg-architecture from dpkg-dev package (which the depends on perl, gcc). dpkg-dev is now correctly listed as Recommends in 2.5.0 (sid, wheezy), which wasn't the case in 2.4.0 (squeeze).
Assuming there isn't any other need to use dpkg-dev apart from this one call, these huge dependencies can be removed by calling dpkg instead of dpkg-architecture in the get_architecture() function: replace return subprocess.Popen(["dpkg-architecture", "-qDEB_HOST_ARCH"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0].strip() with return subprocess.Popen(["dpkg", "--print-architecture"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0].strip() Regards, ~~helix84 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
