Indeed, my fault. 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?
Cheers.
