Subject: [gentoo-user] Wrong dependencies to postgresql
Date: Sat, 23 Dec 2006 23:54:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061223225446.GA19428@nibiru.local> (raw)
Hi folks,
since jakub (as always) closes all my bugs, I'll report the issue
to this list before completely giving up and never ever waste a
single second on reporting bugs ...
Lots of packages have an wrong/unnecessary dependency to
postgresql. Three cases:
a) probably traditionally depended on the whole postgresql, maybe
since before libpq was an own package. ie. qt, dovecot, ...
b) many apps (ie. webapps like bugzilla) have postgresql as dep.,
although they do not need it to be installed. (ie. bugzilla does
not have to do anything directly w/ postgresql, since it uses
perl-DBD for database access). Of course they maybe want to
have access to some postgres database, but this obviously does
not need an local server.
