You have to be kidding. There's no way I'm gonna install all that crap
to have YetAnotherViewer. At 110+ MB per application I would soon run
out of HD space--I know, I know, those libraries would also be used by
YetMore_K_insert_app_here. To be honest, when I read the OP I got
curious about Okular and was waiting to get home to see how bad would
it be to ask aptitude to install it. Now I know it's worse than I
feared. And it's not just the 5 minutes/5 hours of install time,
everytime the package and libraries get updated it'll have to be
downloaded again and again (if you're on Sid).
