[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#578808: hplip: depends on lots of "desktop" stuff (PolicyKit, ConsoleKit, HAL)

[Sascha Silbe]

Package: hplip
Severity: wishlist


hplip has hard depends on a lot of packages that don't make sense on a server (without a graphical console):

consolekit{a} [0.4.1-4] <+582kB> (D: policykit-1) (for hplip)
libck-connector0{a} [0.4.1-4] <+127kB> (D: consolekit) (for hplip)
libdbus-glib-1-2{a} [0.84-1] <+295kB> (D: consolekit, D: libeggdbus-1-0, D: python-dbus) (for hplip)
libeggdbus-1-0{a} [0.6-1] <+324kB> (D: libpolkit-backend-1-0, D: libpolkit-gobject-1-0, D: policykit-1) (for hplip)
libhal1{a} [0.5.14-2] <+209kB> (D: libgphoto2-port0) (for hplip)
libpolkit-backend-1-0{a} [0.96-1] <+283kB> (D: policykit-1) (for hplip)
libpolkit-gobject-1-0{a} [0.96-1] <+180kB> (D: consolekit, D: libpolkit-backend-1-0, D: policykit-1) (for hplip)
policykit-1{a} [0.96-1] <+324kB> (D: hplip) (for hplip)
python-dbus{a} [0.83.1-1] <+758kB> (D: hplip) (for hplip)


Please provide a way to use hplip without all of these.
