Details
The dependency "cyrus-sasl-plugins" was optional in the
previous version, and is now mandatory in the depends: list
;
But the software itself actually works without it. Please help stop the dependency bloat invade ArchLinux : officially restore it as an optdepends. Steps to reproduce: Rebuild from PKGBUILD restoring "cyrus-sasl-plugins" as an optdepends of libpurple, then install and use. At least XMPP, ICQ and MSN protocols are working fine. |

Additional comments about closing: use ABS to remove dependency if you think that you don't need it.

For those who don't (like me) it should be made optional, to leave the choice of not bringing in the (indirect) ~40M libmysqlclient dependency.
to be more precise: I'm using my rebuilt version of pidgin/libpurple without the incriminated dependency, and with SSL/TLS. One of the servers is a very well known one...
maybe some other servers need the dependency, but apparently not all.
