Package: mrtg
Version: 2.14.7-1

Hello,

with 2.14.7-1 mrtg starts to depend on `libgd2-xpm (>= 2.0.33)' while
previous versions did depend on
`libgd2-noxpm (>= 2.0.33) | libgd2-xpm (>= 2.0.33)'

Afaik, mrtg does not really depend on the xpm-stuff in libgd. However,
depending on only libgd2-xpm leads to indirect dependencies (via
libgd2-xpm) on a lot of X11-stuff, which, in turn, leads to the
installation of a lot of useless stuff on X11-less machines (i.e.
servers).

Did you by chance change the Build-Dependency away from libgd2-noxpm-dev?
Build-Depending on libgd2-noxpm-dev should automagically lead to a
package dependency to `libgd2-noxpm | libgd2-xpm', so if it doesn't do
anymore, please redirect this bug to libgd2-noxpm-dev.


Btw. while investigating this issue a debdiff 2.14.3-1 2.14.7-1 did also
show up:

Files in second .deb but not in first
-------------------------------------
lrwxrwxrwx  root/root   /usr/share/doc/mrtg/pod/cfgmaker.pod -> ../bin/cfgmaker
lrwxrwxrwx  root/root   /usr/share/doc/mrtg/pod/indexmaker.pod ->

lrwxrwxrwx  root/root   /usr/share/doc/mrtg/pod/mrtglib.pod -> 
../lib/mrtg2/MRTG_lib.pm

Files in first .deb but not in second
-------------------------------------
-rw-r--r--  root/root   /usr/share/doc/mrtg/pod/cfgmaker.pod.gz

-rw-r--r--  root/root   /usr/share/doc/mrtg/pod/mrtglib.pod.gz

I'm not sure if this is intentional.


Thanks for your work & regards
