Yeah, I misunderstood you in your first email. It is not about the
dependency on libx11-6, but the additional/new dependency on libsm6 and
libice6.

The problem seem to be very simple:
configure.in:915-935

The AC_PATH_XTRA macro picks up additional X11 libs if installed and
adds them to $X_EXTRA_LIBS.

If you install in a clean chroot, $X_EXTRA_LIBS will be empty.

If you have additional X11 dev packages installed, like libice-dev or
libsm-dev, as Moritz seems to have, then you get this extra X11 libs
dependencies.
So I can only assume that Moritz didn't build the package in a clean,
minimal chroot.


I guess we can either add build conflicts against all non-required X11
dev packages (I'm not sure if this is viable)
or patch out X_EXTRA_LIBS from configure.in.

Cheers,
Michael
