Description:

I'm using Xfce and wanted to install glabels but got >200MB of (mostly Gnome related) dependencies. According to the glabels website (http://glabels.org/pages/download.html) the only necessary dependencies are gtk3, libxml2, librsvg. There are several optional dependencies, all of them quite specific packages for working with barcodes. Therefore, I'd request to remove the dependency on evolution-data-server which seems unnecessary and introduces many Gnome specific dependencies.

Additional info:
* package version: glabels 3.2.1-3

Steps to reproduce:
* Install glabels without having the Gnome desktop installed
This task depends upon

evolution-data-server is needed to merge addressbook records directly from Evolution. I would like to keep this feature, but you can remove this dependency and rebuild the package yourself by using Arch Build System.

Thanks for the explanation, I guess, I will try to make an AUR package with minimal necessary dependencies and many optional dependencies. Will comment here once I am done and request closure.
