Details

Upstream explicitly supports a CLI only mode of operation [1], so we should mark python-pyqt5 as an optional dependency.

I believe desktop-file-utils should also be marked optional, but not sure why it is included in the first place. (Someone in IRC said it is because the package ships a .desktop entry, but so does syncplay which does not have the dependency and it is a similar python based gui-optional app).

@awal: Thanks for the report.

I have moved python-pyqt5 to optdepends and removed the dependency on desktop-file-utils as it is no longer required.
