Bug#979452: kconfigwidgets: reduce Build-Depends
Source: kconfigwidgets
Version: 5.77.0-2
Tags: patch
User: helmutg@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap
kconfigwidgets is part of a set of interconnected packages with
dependency cycles, which happen to be relevant to architecture
bootstrap. Instead of looking into difficult dependency cycles, I'm
after the low hanging fruit, which is easily droppable dependencies:
* I couldn't find any use of graphviz and propose dropping it.
* xauth and xvfb are used in override_dh_auto_test, which is skipped by
debhelper when the nocheck option is active since compat level 13.
These can thus be annotated <!nocheck>.
I've attempted building kconfigwidgets with these dependencies replaced
with Build-Conflicts and the build result is bit-identical. Therefore,
please consider applying the attached patch.
Helmut
