Details

Summary and Info:
The mtr found in extra is compiled to use gtk witch you normaly would not use on a server witch causes you to install alot of libs non needed.
My question is why isn't there a only console witch would not need gtk etc within, i don't generaly want x libs on my server esp with limited space.

Steps to Reproduce:
pacman -S mtr
will get you alot of libs you dont need.
This task depends upon

I'm more inclined to say this is what ABS is for...I don't really want to have two MTR packages in the repos. If you find a TU to maintain one or the other in community however I would be willing to have either the GTK or non-GTK version kept in extra.
