Bug#1061658: mesa-vulkan-drivers: unnecessarily hard-depends on python3:any
Package: mesa-vulkan-drivers
Version: 23.3.4-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: larkags@parsoma.net
Dear Maintainer,
mesa-vulkan-drivers appaers to list python3:any under its Depends:
packages due to /usr/bin/mesa-overlay-control.py, but this script,
whilst potentially useful, is not necessary for many use cases for
mesa-vulkan-drivers.
I would expect to be able to install mesa-vulkan-drivers without pulling
in Python if a system doesn't otherwise require it, as
Depends: libvulkan1, python3:any, libc6 (>= 2.34),
libdrm-amdgpu1 (>= 2.4.110), libdrm2 (>= 2.4.107-4), libelf1 (>= 0.142),
libexpat1 (>= 2.0.1), libgcc-s1 (>= 3.4), libllvm17, libstdc++6 (>= 11),
libwayland-client0 (>= 1.20.0), libx11-xcb1 (>= 2:1.8.7), ...
triggers.
