All, I noticed today that tdegraphics depends on kmrml-trinity. Is the dependency strictly required or can we remove it and instead add a "suggestion" for kmrml-trinity in tdegraphics? The reason for asking is that kmrml-trinity installs a control module in "system administration" that comes up with a "Cannot find executables gift and/or gift-add-collection.pl in the PATH. Please install the GNU Image Finding Tool" error message is GnuIFT is not installed. I do not use Gift and do no see any need to use it, and the same is true for the associated control module. So I would like to be able to remove the package, but do not want to sacrifice tdegraphics for that. Comments are welcomed. I can take care of the changes if you agree.
Cheers Michele

tdegraphics (and the other "large" packages such as tdebase, etc). purposefully install all possible packages from their corresponding TDE GIT module.
The real bug seems to be kmrml-trinity not depending on gift.

Then should we add a dependency for gnuift? Cheers Michele

Yes, that would be my suggestion: make kmrml-trinity depend on gnuift.
tdegraphics-trinity can be deinstalled from a system without any consequences; it's just a convenience metapackage.
