Comment 34 for bug 1225

We seem to either fundamentally disagree or misunderstand each other.
- Ubuntu cannot install Glom without all of its dependencies, so that it fails on starting. No Ubuntu packaging (without a large source code patch) can change that.
- And as the upstream developer, I don't see a strong reason to cripple the application for some sets of users.

In general, I think you are concentrating on your own suggested solution without just telling us what the problem is. Your problem might be one of these:
- Glom is too big.
  I'd like numbers to support this argument.
- Glom does things that I don't need.
  This is true of all programs, I think, and doesn't seem like a major problem to me.
- Installing Glom on Ubuntu causes an unnecessary Postgres instance to be started.
  This is an actual bug (and should have a bug report)
