DetailsHi,
Based on what I found, Perl was added as a dependency by this commit: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/commit/3c2a037721a94a02978c2e0a801cb60f0213a128 But it's not clear to me the reason for that. Also, upstream seems to maintain their own Debian package, and Perl is neither listed as a dependency or suggestion: https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/blob/20230212/debian/control#L14-L30 Maybe it could be removed from here as well? Thanks! |
This task depends upon

If you grep the script you will find ref's to perl e.g. "- perl is used to munge steam config files." and also in winetricks_parse_wget_progress(). Seems needed to me.
