Again, the nmap package does not depend on any graphics libraries. As "BarthezZ" pointed out almost three years ago the likely cause for GUI libraries being pulled is: ,---- | that liblinear1 recommends liblinear-tools, which in turn | recommends libsvm-tools, which depends on gnuplot, which happily install | an x11 version of itself, hence all the X libraries. `---- > maybe the package could be split in a "tiny" version and a full > version wilth all the output plugins the depends of half the internet. What is built by nmap is alredy split into three packages: The nmap core package, zenmap (the graphical frontend), and ndiff. Just use apt with --no-install-recommends or add APT::Install-Recommends "false"; to your APT configuration and the problem should go away. Cheers, -Hilko
