Source: network-manager Version: 1.28.0-2 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: rebootstrap network-manager has a number of Build-Depends and is involved in dependency cycles relevant to architecture bootstrap. Instead of looking into such cycles, a simpler measure is looking into entirely unused Build-Depends. As it happens, network-manager has those. According to debian/changelog, libyaml-perl was added to build the documentation. At this point nothing in the source mentions it in any way. I think it can be safely dropped.
I guess libyaml-perl and perl can be dropped safely.
The NEWS file kindly explains that since version 1.24, libpolkit-agent-1-dev and libpolkit-gobject-1-dev are no longer needed. While meson.build and configure.ac still check for polkit-agent, they're completely unused otherwise and network-manager now interacts with polkit via dbus and its own abstraction only.
libpolkit-gobject-1-dev is no longer needed and can be dropped safely. libpolkit-agent-1-dev is still used to get the polkit package prefix:
POLKIT_PACKAGE_PREFIX=`$PKG_CONFIG --variable=prefix polkit-agent-1` which is later used inclients/common/nm-polkit-listener.c: POLKIT_PACKAGE_PREFIX "/lib/polkit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1",
There is a hard-coded fallback, but I'd rather keep the libpolkit-agent-1-dev Build-Depends.
