During the last rush of updates to my packages I changed "ocaml" dependencies to "ocaml-nox", but I did not do the same for "ocaml-base" ones. Thus most of my packages still needs X related shared objects which, I guess, in turn needs a lot of X libraries. This is the full list of packages which still depends on ocaml-base-3.08: zack@fistandantilus:~$ apt-cache showpkg ocaml-base-3.08 Package: ocaml-base-3.08 Versions: Reverse Depends: planets,ocaml-base-3.08 ocaml,ocaml-base-3.08 libwlexing-ocaml,ocaml-base-3.08 libpostgresql-ocaml,ocaml-base-3.08 libpgsql-ocaml,ocaml-base-3.08 libpcre-ocaml,ocaml-base-3.08 libmlgtk-ocaml,ocaml-base-3.08 liblablgtkmathview-ocaml,ocaml-base-3.08 liblablgtk2-ocaml,ocaml-base-3.08 liblablgtk-ocaml,ocaml-base-3.08 liblablgl-ocaml,ocaml-base-3.08 libgdome2-xslt-ocaml,ocaml-base-3.08 libgdome2-ocaml,ocaml-base-3.08 libeditex-ocaml,ocaml-base-3.08 libcamlimages-ocaml,ocaml-base-3.08 ara,ocaml-base-3.08 My packages included in this list are: wlexing, postgresql, pgsql, pcre, lablgtkmathvieew, gdome2-xslt, gdome2 and editex. They shared objects part of those package need to be changed to depend on ocaml-base-nox. [ Please note that two of them (namely lablgtkmathview and editex) will still bring X dependencies via gtk dependencies. ] I'm back from vacation and I've just finished reading d-o-m archives. It seems to me that ocaml knot of packages will manually enter testing in a few days or so. My idea is to wait for this to happen and then upload fixed version of the packages, I doubt that they will be ready for sarge (due to chained build dependencies), but I prefer not to risk to mess up ocaml 3.08 testing entrance. Comments? What about packages other then mine in the above list? Do they really need to depends on ocaml-base?
