Hi,
I haven't seen any discussion on this, but I do wonder why does
util-linux bring in a dependancy on Perl? I've so far avoided installing
Perl and don't feel like installing it now either.
And it seems that Perl in turns brings in a dependancy on both libdb4.2
*and* libdb4.3 - this doesn't like right to me either; certainly doesn't
make me happier...
Any good reason for these dependancies? Any (reasonable) way to get rid
of these dependancies?
Cheers,
--Tim
