Subject: php5-gd should not depend on libx11 or should make it optional

Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2007 13:03:03 -0400

Package: php5-gd
Version: 5.2.0-8
Severity: wishlist

The php5-gd package has the following dependency tree:
- php5-gd
  +- libx11-6
  +- libxpm4
  |  +- libx11-6
  +- libgd2-xpm
     +- libx11-6
     +- libxpm4

As a result, the php5-gd package requires substantial parts of X11 to be
installed.  I would prefer not to have unnecessary X11 packages
installed on my servers.

There is a libgd2-noxpm package available.  Other packages that require
libgd2 will accept libgd2-noxpm (e.g., webalizer does this).  Perhaps
a php5-gd-noxpm package could be provided, or php5-gd could be crafted
so as to provide XPM functionality if libgd2-xpm is installed.  (Note
that libgd2-xpm requires libxpm4 and libx11-6, so that installing it
would include all of the other dependencies of php5-gd.)

Thanks for marking this wontfix without any explanation at all. I now
have ttf fonts on my server. Awesome.

Version: php5/5.5.0~beta3-1

There will be no libgd2-noxpm in next Debian release (Jessie) thus
closing this bug with version from experimental (which already depends
on libgd2-3).

Anyway the overhead of installing xpm dependencies today is minimal
(5MB difference) and the goal of having two gd2 version never really
worked well.
