Description:
Trying to install couchdb to a headless server, I realize it was trying to install things like wxgtk, wayland, mesa-libgl, etc. Checking why was that, I realized it was the erlang package, which is requiring those packages. While I have nothing against them, I think those fit as "optional dependencies", instead of "dependencies" So, my request is to convert those to "optional dependencies". Additional info: * package version(s) couchdb 1.2.1-2 Steps to reproduce: On a system with only base and base-devel installed, do: # pacman -S erlang |
This task depends upon
However erlang-nox conflicts with erlang, so such dependency will break systems that uses X11.
