Bug Description
ssconvert is an excellent tool and very useful for webserver applications that need to convert documents. However, for security reasons, I do not want to install all of the Gnome-related dependencies on my webserver:
The following extra packages will be installed:
consolekit dbus-x11 enchant evince evince-common gconf-service
gconf-service-
glib-networking
glib-
gnumeric-doc gsettings-
gvfs-libs hunspell-en-us launchpad-
libcolamd2.7.1 libdevmapper-
libframe6 libgail-3-0 libgconf-2-4 libgconf2-4 libgdu0 libgeis1 libgeoclue0
libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx libglapi-mesa libgnome-
libgnome-keyring0 libgoffice-0.8-8 libgoffice-
libgsf-1-114 libgsf-1-common libgstreamer-

libhunspell-1.3-0 libjavascriptco

liblvm2app2.2 libnautilus-
libpolkit-

libwebkitgtk-
libxxf86dga1 libxxf86vm1 libyelp0 lp-solve mtools policykit-1
policykit-1-gnome udisks x11-utils yelp yelp-xsl
Yikes! Is is possible to decouple ssconvert from all of these dependencies and have a lightweight, "headless" version for command-line apps? Gnumeric itself does not appear to have this many dependencies:
