I'm building Classpath on a virgin Debian system and I was quite surprised at some of the package dependencies for the classpath package. Beyond the dependencies listed in the documentation, plus libx11-dev, libgtk2.0-dev, jikes, and their dependencies, we have: antlr build-essential cdbs comerr-dev debhelper dpatch dssi-dev gettext gjdoc html2text intltool-debian ladspa-sdk libart-2.0-dev libasound2-dev libaudio-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libgl1-mesa-dri libglu1-mesa-dev libglu1-xorg-dev libjack0.100.0-dev libjpeg62-dev libkadm55 libkrb5-dev liblcms1-dev libmng-dev libmysqlclient15off libpq-dev libqt4-dev libqt4-qt3support libqt4-sql libsqlite0 libssl-dev libxmu-dev libxmu-headers libxt-dev libxtst-dev mesa-common-dev mysql-common po-debconf x11proto-record-dev xlibmesa-gl-dev zip libgconf2-dev libidl-dev liborbit2-dev libpopt-dev orbit2 I'm especially surprised about the mysql dependency. Is all this really necessary? -- Chris Burdess
