Currently, the nicotine package depends on pyvorbis, which, however, has some nasty bugs that make nicotine crash on scanning some collections. For this reason, it'd be better not to have pyvorbis as required dependency; nicotine can use it(and may crash) when it's installed manually (maybe a message could be included notifying the user of the option of installing pyvorbis).
This task depends upon

Maybe it's smarter to fix pyvorbis instead if that's the one giving problems. Some other packages need it, so some users using nicotine and one of those other apps have no other choice.

I don't use this package, I was just the last one to update it. If anyone else wants to take a crack at fixing this then go for it.
