  • libgtk3: pkg-config really required?

    From Alexander Traud@21:1/5 to All on Wed Oct 20 20:20:02 2021
    Two years ago, the developer tool pkg-config was added as dependency in the packages libglib-perl [1], libcairo-perl [2], and libcairo-gobject-perl [3]. Because of that, (even a minimal) Ubuntu Desktop installation contains that tool nowadays, because
    its Update Manager depends on libgtk3-perl.

    Is that an issue, I should report as bug via the usual channels, for each of these three packages? Or was that done on some purpose, I do not understand.

    Taking a very quick look, this happened because the upstream
    META.{json,yml} define them as a runtime requirements.

    My hunch is that this might be wrong; so yes, please file bugs and
    we'll take a closer look to see if these runtime dependencies are
    actually bogus.

    Thanks, all packages uploaded, you should get the bug-closing mails
    soon.

    There is a forth packages, libmodule-build-using-pkgconfig-perl.
    However, that package and its dependency on pkg-config seems good
    to me. Furthermore, that package is not installed in Ubuntu Desktop
    on default.

    Right, that's a pure buildtime thing.
