[Ocaml-lib-devel] libdbi-ocaml depends on X, other things

[Richard J. <ri...@an...>]

I've just installed libdbi-ocaml to replace my homegrown packages.  I
think because of the odbc dependencies, it depends on large chunks of
X.  This was what it installed:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  esound-common fontconfig gdk-imlib1 gnome-bin gnome-libs-data gtkodbcconfig0
  imlib-base libart2 libaudio2 libaudiofile0 libdbi-ocaml libdbi-ocaml-dev
  libesd0 libfontconfig1 libglu1-mesa libgnome32 libgnomesupport0 libgnomeui32
  libgnorba27 libgnorbagtk0 libgtk1.2 libgtk1.2-common libice6 liblcms1
  libltdl3 libltdl3-dev libmng1 libmysql-ocaml libmysql-ocaml-dev
  libmysqlclient10-dev libocamlodbc-ocaml-dev libodbcinstq1 liborbit0
  libperl4caml-ocaml libperl4caml-ocaml-dev libqt3c102-mt libsm6 libungif4g
  libx11-6 libxcursor1 libxext6 libxft1 libxft2 libxi6 libxmu6 libxmuu1 libxp6
  libxpm4 libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxt6 libxtrap6 libxtst6 odbcinst1 unixodbc
  unixodbc-dev xlibmesa-gl xlibs-data 

Can some of the dependencies be removed in future?

Rich.
