It depends on python-gtk2, which in turn depends on python-numpy. It also depends on libgtk2.0-0, which depends on libcups2, which pulls in libavahi-common3. libgtk2.0-0 depends on both gnome-icon-theme and hicolor-icon-theme (but gnome-icon-theme depends on hicolor-icon-theme anyway). I kind of want to rewrite them in dot, which I personally much prefer, but eh. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
