installing libgd-perl

[Imre Oolberg <imre@eenet.ee>]

Hi!

I would like to use GD library thru perl routines and could as easily
install it as it is but i still wonder why the poor thing depends on
xfree86-common.

http://packages.debian.org/testing/x11/xfree86-common.html says:

xfree86-common contains the filesystem infrastructure required for further
installation of the X Window System in any configuration.


Installations goes like this

atel:/home/ajut# apt-get install libgd-perl

0 packages upgraded, 4 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2  not upgraded.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n


Imre
