Building GTK programs without installing systemd-sysv?
Hi,
I have a few users who do test builds of kicad on my server, so I'd like to
provide the necessary build dependencies, but since a few days, the
dependency chain
libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev
libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5
libgtk-3-0
libgtk-3-common
dconf-gsettings-backend
dconf-service
dbus-user-session
libpam-systemd
systemd-sysv
stops gtk upgrades from happening because I have pinned systemd-sysv to
-100 to avoid repeating the last unfortunate incident where I had to drive
to the colo facility.
Does anyone with more insight into which of these dependencies are actually
hard requirements have a suggestion if we could demote one of them to a
Recommends?
And in the long run: would it make sense to require that packages that are
build dependencies of something can be installed without starting any
service?
Simon
