checking on /usr/bin/gs shows no dependency on gtk+ : $ ldd /usr/bin/gsx libgs.so.7 => /usr/lib/libgs.so.7 (0x00556000) libgtk-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0 (0x0015a000) libgdk-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk-1.2.so.0 (0x00d07000) libgmodule-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgmodule-1.2.so.0 (0x00b63000) libglib-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0 (0x00c39000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00468000) libXi.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 (0x00111000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x00119000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x002a2000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x00127000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00d3f000) libVFlib2.so.24 => /usr/lib/libVFlib2.so.24 (0x00380000) libttf.so.2 => /usr/lib/libttf.so.2 (0x003b3000) libpng12.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 (0x003d9000) libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x00fb2000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00149000) libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x003fd000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x0044e000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x0046b000) libgimpprint.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgimpprint.so.1 (0x00b66000) libcupsimage.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcupsimage.so.2 (0x004a3000) libcups.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcups.so.2 (0x004b6000) libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x00e78000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x00456000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x0048d000) libtiff.so.3 => /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3 (0x004d2000) libssl.so.4 => /lib/libssl.so.4 (0x00513000) libcrypto.so.4 => /lib/libcrypto.so.4 (0x00fd0000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00cf9000) libgssapi_krb5.so.2 => /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2 (0x00b4e000) libkrb5.so.3 => /usr/lib/libkrb5.so.3 (0x00c5e000) libcom_err.so.2 => /lib/libcom_err.so.2 (0x00482000) libk5crypto.so.3 => /usr/lib/libk5crypto.so.3 (0x00cc7000) libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x00c27000) So removing the duplicate /usr/bin/gsx and removing the requirement in the .spec file could resolve this packaging bug. Or am I overlooking something? David Jansen
