Package: upower
Version: 1.90.2-3
Severity: wishlist
I'm working on a Debian image for the PineTab2 and looking into ways to
make it as power efficient as possible. As I'm targetting Trixie, I
upgraded to the Experimental version of upower.
But the upgrade installed libimobiledevice6 and via that also usbmuxd,
which includes a service. I don't have (and don't care about) iDevices,
so it would be great if I could use the latest upower without support
for iDevices, but as libimobiledevice6 is a dependency, that's not
possible.
Could libimobiledevice6 be 'demoted' to a Recommends or Suggests?
Cheers,
Diederik

That's not how shlibs dependencies work. The binary linking against
libimobiledevice6 would crash if the linker doesn't find all necessary
libraries.
To allow something like that, one would need to use dlopen.
This approach has its downsides though and I don't think the additional
complexity is warranted here. Also, this change would need to be
implemented upstream and not as a downstream patch, due to the ongoing
maintenance cost this would incur.
As far as usbmuxd is concerned: it's only a Recommends of
libimobiledevice6, so you can uninstall it.
So all in all, I'm closing this bug report as wontfix.
Regards,
Michael
