Currently, conky 1.10.8-2 depends on the package wireless_tools. I use conky on a machine that doesn't even have a wireless interface. I would like to keep my installed packages minimal and remove wireless_tools, but that results in a conflict:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: conky: removing wireless_tools breaks dependency 'wireless_tools'

Could this dependency be removed?

Thanks, and keep up the good work!
