Description
hi Diego
Debian is trying to reduce the packages' dependencies; to this end, dh_shlibdeps analyzes the linking; the result is:
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/mplayer/usr/bin/mplayer shouldn't be linked with libXvMC.so.1 (it uses none of its symbols).
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/mplayer/usr/bin/mplayer shouldn't be linked with libXt.so.6 (it uses none of its symbols).
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/mplayer/usr/bin/mplayer shouldn't be linked with libaudiofile.so.0 (it uses none of its symbols).
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/mplayer/usr/bin/mplayer shouldn't be linked with libatk-1.0.so.0 (it uses none of its symbols).
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/mplayer/usr/bin/mplayer shouldn't be linked with libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 (it uses none of its symbols).
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/mplayer/usr/bin/mplayer shouldn't be linked with libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 (it uses none of its symbols).
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/mplayer/usr/bin/mplayer shouldn't be linked with libpango-1.0.so.0 (it uses none of its symbols).
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/mplayer/usr/bin/mplayer shouldn't be linked with libcairo.so.2 (it uses none of its symbols).
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/mplayer/usr/bin/mplayer shouldn't be linked with libgmodule-2.0.so.0 (it uses none of its symbols).
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/mplayer/usr/bin/mplayer shouldn't be linked with libogg.so.0 (it uses none of its symbols).
It would be nice if we may avoid those warnings
