Description Maxim Kammerer 2012-01-15 10:54:06 UTC 
The only reason that librsvg depends python is /usr/bin/rsvg, which is an old script that's deprecated in favor of /usr/bin/rsvg-convert.

I suggest removing the dependency, or separating it into a "deprecated" flag, or similar.

Not sure if other packages are still relying in /usr/bin/rsvg :-/
Comment 2 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-04-12 02:50:02 UTC 
librsvg-2.36.0 no longer installs /usr/bin/rsvg per upstream decision, and therefore no longer depends on python.
