deluge-core and deluge-webui require graphicsy stuff??

Hi, I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10, and have spotted that deluge is in the repositories now (I've been using a version compiled from source ages ago until now). But installing them drags in all sorts of suspect stuff. apt-get install deluge-core deluge-webui outputs this:
Code: Select all
...
The following extra packages will be installed:
defoma deluge-common fontconfig-config libboost-filesystem1.38.0
libboost-python1.38.0 libboost-system1.38.0 libboost-thread1.38.0
libdrm-intel1 libdrm-radeon1 libdrm2 libfontconfig1 libfontenc1
libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx libice6 libsm6 libtorrent-rasterbar5 libxaw7
libxdamage1 libxfixes3 libxft2 libxi6 libxinerama1 libxmu6 libxpm4
libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxt6 libxtrap6 libxtst6 libxv1 libxxf86dga1
libxxf86misc1 libxxf86vm1 python-chardet python-libtorrent python-xdg
ttf-dejavu ttf-dejavu-core ttf-dejavu-extra x11-utils x11-xserver-utils
xdg-utils
...
Mesa drivers? Radeon stuff? x11? This is a headless server, there's nothing Radeon in it. I don't want to clutter it with graphics-related stuff. I don't even want X. Are these really dependencies or has something gone wrong?

some of these are packages required for GTK ui which is compiled by default.
If you do not want those, you can compile without the GTK ui. But I am not sure which packages can be omitted and what are the configure settings. Been wanting to do this as I also only uses webui but have not got the time to experiment yet. You can try and then post here your success.

Oh, I'm not super-bothered about it, I just thought I'd post to see if I've done something wrong, or otherwise to alert whoever cares that the dependencies are weird. Looks like it's the latter: I thought the point of splitting up packages into core, web-ui, and whatever the gui is called, was to minimise the number of things you'd need to install.

According to :
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/deluge-core and
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/deluge-webui
there are no graphical dependencies in those packages.
Perhaps it was trying to update something else?
Run
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
and then try to install deluge again.

deluge-webui looks pretty clean, but deluge-core depends on xdg-utils which depends on x11utils which brings in lots of junk. Though by the looks of things, the packages listed as 'suggested' were also installed - any idea how to stop apt-get getting those? I've only used it in a fairly basic way thus far.

according to:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/xdg-utils
xdg-utils only recommends x11-utils
try something like:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install xdg-utils --no-install-recommends

Ok, that'll reduce the amount of crap fetched by a considerable amount, thanks. I still don't see why xdg-utils is required though, I don't even have a desktop
