It is indeed incredible that some packages that do not even print (you were wrong about audacity BTW, because it *can* print -- but you could have mentioned sgt-puzzles, for instance) pull in libcupsys2. And of course even packages that *do* print do not need cups per se. The dependency should be upon something like "some print system", rather than on cups, and there should be no such dependency at all for non-printing packages. I suspect some developers have been too generous in assigning dependencies to some packages -- especially library packages. Or else, perhaps there really is some kind of virus messing up the Debian package system.. Anyway I think the dependencies ought to be looked at very critically, and when possible cleaned up. Are any developers listening? Regards, Jan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
