Optional dependencies printed out when installing a package could be handled better. I think the results should be sorted and already installed dependencies either omitted or marked. What I saw: Optional dependencies for vlc avahi: for service discovery using bonjour protocol libnotify: for notification plugin ncurses: for ncurses interface support libdvdcss: for decoding encrypted DVDs lirc-utils: for lirc plugin libavc1394: for devices using the 1394ta AV/C libdc1394: for IEEE 1394 plugin kdelibs: KDE Solid hardware integration libva-vdpau-driver: vdpau back-end for nvidia libva-intel-driver: back-end for intel cards libbluray: for Blu-Ray support flac: for Free Lossless Audio Codec plugin oss: for OSS audio support portaudio: for portaudio support twolame: for TwoLAME mpeg2 encoder plugin projectm: for ProjectM visualisation plugin libcaca: for colored ASCII art video output libgme: for libgme plugin librsvg: for SVG plugin gnome-vfs: for GNOME Virtual File System support libgoom2: for libgoom plugin vcdimager: navigate VCD with libvcdinfo xosd: for xosd support aalib: for ASCII art plugin libmtp: for MTP devices support fluidsynth: for synthesizer MIDI FluidSynth smbclient: for SMB access plugin libcdio: for audio CD playback support ttf-freefont: for subtitle font ttf-dejavu: for subtitle font opus: for opus support libssh2: for sftp support What I expected to see: Optional dependencies for vlc aalib: for ASCII art plugin avahi: for service discovery using bonjour protocol flac: for Free Lossless Audio Codec plugin fluidsynth: for synthesizer MIDI FluidSynth gnome-vfs: for GNOME Virtual File System support kdelibs: KDE Solid hardware integration libavc1394: for devices using the 1394ta AV/C libbluray: for Blu-Ray support libcaca: for colored ASCII art video output libcdio: for audio CD playback support libdc1394: for IEEE 1394 plugin libdvdcss: for decoding encrypted DVDs libgme: for libgme plugin libgoom2: for libgoom plugin libmtp: for MTP devices support libnotify: for notification plugin librsvg: for SVG plugin libssh2: for sftp support libva-intel-driver: back-end for intel cards libva-vdpau-driver: vdpau back-end for nvidia lirc-utils: for lirc plugin ncurses [installed]: for ncurses interface support opus [installed]: for opus support oss: for OSS audio support portaudio: for portaudio support projectm: for ProjectM visualisation plugin smbclient: for SMB access plugin ttf-dejavu: for subtitle font ttf-freefont: for subtitle font twolame: for TwoLAME mpeg2 encoder plugin vcdimager: navigate VCD with libvcdinfo xosd: for xosd support |
