gthumb package

is it normal the dependency with brasero-common package?

Asked by fabioamd87

I've just installed gthumb on my ubuntu 23.04 and I've noticed this dependecy.
is it normal that a photo viewer depends of a CD burning application package?

fabio@abulafia:~$ sudo apt install gthumb

Thanks,
Fabio

Yes, you are correct.
It is one of the dependencies of gthumb.

The dependency is indirect,
gthumb depends on libbrasero-media3-1, which in turn depends on brasero-common

isn't brasero the software to burn CD-Rom? (BTW are still used?) why an image viewer depends on such a library?

As in reply #1 Yes it is.
libbrasero-media3-1
https://packages.ubuntu.com/lunar/libbrasero-media3-1
gThumb has a plug-in system for extensions
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gthumb
The packaging is direct dependency due to Gnome packaging.
