Bug#199906: xbase-clients: please add xgl-clients package
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1
Followup-For: Bug #199906
Hi,
I tried removing all gl related packages on a system which had no hardware
supporting it anyway and with a dire need for harddisk space, but couldn't
because xbase-clients contains a number of gl applications. I had to build
an empty package with equivs to satisfy the gl dependency, which is rather
stupid.
Would you please split out the gl clients into their own package? (from a
cursory look, most are just test or diagnostics applications anyway)
Regards,
Filip
