That many packages depend on avahi, has already been reported on bugzilla.
whatever that links to packages that contains this files: libdns_sd.la libgda-3.0.la libgda-report-3.0.la libgdasql-3.0.la libgda-xslt-3.0.la libgnc-business-ledger.la libgnc-gnome.la libgnome-2.la libgnomedb-3.0.la libgnomedb_extra-3.0.la libgnomedb_graph-3.0.la libgnome-desktop-2.la libgnomevfs-2.la libgnome-window-settings.la libgoffice-0.8.la libgsf-gnome-1.la libhowl.la libpanel-applet-2.la libplanner-1.la libslab.la will depend more or less on avahi libraries... example.. package "foobar" uses libtool and it gets linked, it takes library information from libgnomevfs-2.la, because it requires libgnomevfs-2, but libgnomevfs-2.la also contains dependencies to usr/lib/libgconf-2.la /usr/lib/libORBit-2.la -lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 /usr/lib/libxml2.la -lm /usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.la -lnsl -lgobject-2.0 -lssl -lcrypto -lz /usr/lib/libavahi-glib.la -lglib-2.0 /usr/lib/libavahi-client.la -ldbus-1 /usr/lib/libavahi-common.la -ldl -lresolv -lutil -lrt' now "foobar" that required only libgnomevfs-2 ends requiring all that libraries, regardless if the are used or not.. even more all dependencies of the other referenced "*.la" files too !! this utter mess goes straight to the beggining again when "foobar" gets BuildRequired by other packages... argh! :( ...fixing this is a WIP though. -- "We have art in order not to die of the truth" - Friedrich Nietzsche Cristian Rodríguez R.
