Description:

kdenlive has kdebase-runtime as a dependency, which in turn brings in a number of KDE related packages as dependencies. According to this fairly old forum post [1] and this wiki page [2], only kdelibs should be necessary. The kdenlive-git [3] package in AUR also works without kdebase-runtime.

If kdebase-runtime is indeed an unnecessary dependency and it can be replaced with kdelibs, it would almost detach kdenlive from the KDE packages, as kdelibs has minimal dependencies.

Additional info:
* kdenlive 0.9.10-1

Your link lists compile time dependencies. kdebase-runtime, as its name says, it's a run-time dependency of all KDE based applications. Without it many things won't work: help, icons, opening remote files....
Kdenlive is a KDE application so of course it has to depend on KDE.

Icons appear to work with oxygen-icons. As for the rest, perhaps then kdebase-runtime can be an optional dependency?

please try 0.9.10-2

I can create a project and render it fine in 0.9.10-2. I would suggest adding "oxygen-icons" as a dependency (or perhaps as an optional one), since some of the icons do not appear properly in the GUI without it. I don't know if any other icon themes would also work.

Thank you, oxygen-icons added to optdep, but in svn/trunk only.
