Hi, I have some questions about the graph tool Debian package: Why does it depend on libboost-all-dev? Out of all ~38k binary packages in Debian, only libfeel++-dev depends on libboost-all-dev. I dont see a reason for the graph-tool package to depend on libboost-all-dev. Why does it? The graph-tool binary package also depends on expat. Why? The expat package only ships the program /usr/bin/xmlwf which I dont see being used by graph-tool at all? It also depends on python-dev. Why? Packages that are not *-dev packages should not need to depend on python-dev. It also depends on the g++ package. The g++ package only ships the binary /usr/bin/g++ which, as far as I can see, is never executed by graph-tool? I'm just asking because once I try to install the graph-tool package, apt-get tells me that it will fill 1036 MB of disk space with 323 new packages it needs to resolve graph-tool's dependencies. This seems somehow a bit like overkill to spend one gigabyte just to install graph-tool? cheers, josch PS: please dont forget to CC me as I'm not subscribed to this list
