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. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
