I still wonder which package actually uses rhino as everything seems
to work after I removed it.
There are tools for discovering what files belong to which package, and
what dependencies there are. But...
You may find that a tool uses some function if its available, and
doesn't really care if it's not available. It'll do something else,
instead, or simply not offer some particular feature.
If you run a program via the command line, you may see a flurry of
messages go up the screen about things it couldn't do. None of which
are of any concern to you unless you needed *that* aspect of the thing.
An example that springs to mind is mplayer. If I try something like:
mplayer testfile.mkv
It will try to load some files to do with a remote control, that I
don't have, it'll report it couldn't find LIRC support and say I won't
be able to use a remote control, but the file will play quite fine
without it.
i.e. You *may* be chasing after something that's not important.
True, which is why I am not losing sleep over it. Until one day a failure will lead to it...
ATM (after bin/sbin merge in f42) the rhino and nut people need to coordinate their packages.
