Description:
The current situation is contradictory: java-runtime is listed as optional but some other packages which depend on it are mandatory. Please help stop dependency bloat invasion in ArchLinux : hsqldb-java, beanshell, saxon and lucene should really be optdepends, not depends. Same for vigra : it brings in ~46M of mostly unused software (with hdf5); I don't see the point in making them mandatory. Steps to reproduce: I repackaged manually to change the dependencies (unpack, edit .PKGINFO, repack), installed the result and it works fine, at least writer, calc and impress -- I don't use base but it should work too with odbc drivers. |

Reason for closing: Fixed
Additional comments about closing: vanilla 3.2.1/go-oo 3.2.1.3 have most stuff now as optional deps. if further changes are requested please open a new bug/task.

Though I forgot to mention that "draw" also works fine, what other "important parts" do you think of ?
Or what kind of proof do you want ?
