Why a dependency on X stuff for an ldap server?



I'm upgrading from a potato machine, to woody.

Did the dselect thing, it didn't bother to upgrade openldapd for me, but I
found it in the obsolete pile.

So I run off to install slapd, after a bit of googling to see what
replaced openldapd.

# apt-get install slapd

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libfreetype6 libglib1.2 libgtk1.2 libgtk1.2-common libiodbc2 slapd
xfree86-common xlibs
0 packages upgraded, 8 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0  not upgraded.
Need to get 3768kB of archives. After unpacking 9722kB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

This seems a bit excessive, considering it was something like two packages
for openldapd.

Any other way around this?  I really don't want all that crap installed if
I don't have to.

Mike
