Details

The gtk3 package currently hard depends on libcanberra which means that, for example, terminal bells are ringing where the user has not explicitly turned them on (my ears are not very happy). I've asked heftig, and he said that this currently cannot be done as some packages implicitly depend on libcanberra while only explicitly depending on gtk3.

I have filed this bug to track progress on finding packages that have an implicit dependency on libcanberra, so that eventually it can be turned into an optdep in gtk3.
This task depends upon

I went through all the packages that have a hard dependency on gtk3 but no hard dependency on libcanberra with a shell script to find all files dynamically linked to libcanberra and I got the following files:
./claws-mail/usr/lib/claws-mail/plugins/notification.so
./libcheese/usr/lib/libcheese-gtk.so.25.1.7
./ukui-power-manager/usr/bin/ukui-power-manager
./gala/usr/bin/gala
./sound-juicer/usr/bin/sound-juicer
As claws-mail has a soft dependency tagged already, it only leaves libcheese, ukui-power-manager, gala and sound-juicer. Once those packages get libcanberra as a dependency gtk3 should not need it anymore.

OK, thanks for your effort. I'll put this on my TODO.

Unfortunately, rechecking this myself (with sogrep and pactree) I get the following list:

claws-mail
colorhug-client
evolution-data-server
gala
gdm
gnome-flashback
kmix
knotifyconfig
libcheese
libcutefish
mate-control-center
plasma-pa
sound-juicer
ukui-control-center
ukui-media
ukui-power-manager
ukwm

So that's a bit more work.

I only checked packages with direct dependencies, which was a wrong assumption to make. Thank you.
