Detailsmkvtoolnix (2.9.9-1 in extra, 2.9.9-1 in testing) is compiled with the GUI included and the matching dependecy for wxgtk set, which makes it depend on gtk2.
For people using mkvtoolnix from the commandline this adds unnecessary bloat. Please package mkvtoolnix-gui separate from mkvtoolnix itself, like debian does for example (http://packages.debian.org/nl/sid/mkvtoolnix-gui and http://packages.debian.org/nl/sid/mkvtoolnix). Disabling the GUI can be done with the configure switches --diable-gui --disable-wxwidgets |
