nut dependencies look very wrong

[macports@…]

I recently upgraded to Mavericks and have reinstalled Macports. I am trying to now reinstall nut but the dependencies look all wrong to me.

This is what was installed with nut on 10.8:

I can't see why you would want or need gtk3, sqlite, jpeg, tiff and many other of these dependencies for a simple command line based network tool.

The dependencies are not “wrong”. libproxy was added as a neon dependency in r113923, and it pulls in gconf by default, which pulls in gtk3 and everything associated with it.

gconf has a no_gnome variant that cuts out GTK. Try this:

% sudo port install nut +no_gnome

Maybe libproxy shouldn’t have GTK support by default; I’m not familiar with it.

Replying to larryv@…:

You mean libproxy has such a variant. Of course, variants names beginning with "no_" are deprecated so this might get changed in the future.

Thanks for the +no_gnome tip. This looks much better:
