Gimp is needed for "make check" with the gimp xcf extension. It's only needed at compile time, it's not added as a binary dependency.
Will look into the others.
Hello
Recently I'm getting mails about Launchpad build failure reports for
the inkscape-trunk package. The log seems to suggest that it's not our
fault (some dependency problems apparently), but it looks interesting
for different reasons:
1. We have Gimp and bash-completion as a build dependency. Why on earth is that?
2. One of the unmet dependencies is libxml-parser-perl. Why do we
require this? It looks like we have just four extensions written in
Perl - perhaps we could rewrite them in Python and avoid Perl as a
hard dependency.
Regards, Krzysztof
