digitalmars.D - Why does DMD on Debian need xdg-utils
- flamencofantasy (84/84) Jun 02 2016 DMD on debian depends on the xdg-utils package.
- ZombineDev (5/10) Jun 02 2016 It shouldn't be necessary. It's probably a packaging issue.

It shouldn't have any unnecessary dependencies.

It shouldn't be necessary. I believe that is because of `dmd -man`, which open a web browser. That's an apt-d issue (in hopefully Jordi Sayol will read this) which prevents using this repository if your machine has no X (I guess you discovered that on a server, as I did). 2016-06-02 20:17 GMT+02:00 ZombineDev via Digitalmars-d < digitalmars-d puremagic.com>:On Thursday, 2 June 2016 at 18:04:43 UTC, flamencofantasy wrote:On Thursday, 2 June 2016 at 17:54:07 UTC, ZombineDev wrote:Yes.

It's actually a linux branded SmartOS zone and the install script does not seem to work. I have always been using the .deb package and it's been working, I just didn't want xdg-utils and all the other stuff that comes with it.Yes.
