Package: dnsmasq Version: 2.45-1 Severity: minor The dnsmasq-base package requires dbus which itself requires many x11 libraries thus making dnsmasq unsuitable for small (embedded) systems. apt-getting dnsmasq will result in the following ------------------------------------------------------------- # apt-get install dnsmasq Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following extra packages will be installed: dbus dbus-x11 dnsmasq-base libdbus-1-3 libx11-6 libx11-data libxau6 libxcb-xlib0 libxcb1 libxdmcp6 Suggested packages: resolvconf The following NEW packages will be installed: dbus dbus-x11 dnsmasq dnsmasq-base libdbus-1-3 libx11-6 libx11-data libxau6 libxcb-xlib0 libxcb1 libxdmcp6 0 upgraded, 11 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

After this operation, 5407kB of additional disk space will be used. ------------------------------------------------------------------ But apt-getting dhcp3-server the full-featured dhcpd by ISC will output ------------------------------------------------------------------ # apt-get install dhcp3-server Reading package lists...

After this operation, 782kB of additional disk space will be used. --------------------------------------------------------------------- that's 7 times less installation space, even after installing a full featured dns server like bind9 it will be 3 times less space !!!
Please seek that these dependencies are removed.
