Description:
The epdfview package incorrectly depends on the heimdal and gnutls packages. Epdfview uses libcups which depends on heimdal and gnutls, but it doesn't use those libraries directly. The extra dependencies should just be removed.

Additional info:
Applies to versions at least up to 0.1.6-12.

Steps to reproduce:
pacman -Si epdfview
This task depends upon

>readelf -d /usr/bin/epdfview
...
0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libgnutls.so.26]
...
0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libkrb5.so.25]

Again, looks like they are needed to me...

They were added because it's easier to track down required rebuilds. I don't like to remove them, as this will become a hidden dependency then, making rebuilds for both gnutls and heimdal harder.
