# Description: This is a follow up to https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/transmission/-/issues/5 which introduced a new dependency to transmission-qt which I believe to be erroneous. [transmission-qt 4.0.6-3 added libayatana-indicator as a dependency](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/transmission/-/commit/48d5edd951428a9a802547972b9a4d5db58819a8) which is unused. Please could this new dependency be removed again. # Additional info: (reposting from above issue) ``` # pacman -Syu Password: :: Synchronising package databases... core is up to date extra is up to date multilib is up to date :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... warning: ignoring package gtk3-1:3.24.43-4 warning: cannot resolve "gtk3", a dependency of "ayatana-ido" warning: cannot resolve "ayatana-ido", a dependency of "libayatana-indicator" warning: ignoring package gtk3-1:3.24.43-4 warning: cannot resolve "gtk3", a dependency of "libayatana-indicator" warning: cannot resolve "libayatana-indicator", a dependency of "transmission-qt" :: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies: transmission-qt :: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] ``` namcap suggests the dependency is not needed: ``` $ namcap /var/cache/pacman/pkg/transmission-qt-4.0.6-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst transmission-qt E: GPL is not a valid SPDX license identifier.

transmission-qt binary does not link against libayatana-indicator3.so ``` $ mkdir /tmp/extracted $ bsdtar -x -C /tmp/extracted -f /var/cache/pacman/pkg/transmission-qt-4.0.6-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst $ ldd
