Package: xv
Version: 3.10a-4

Why isn't xv dynamically linked with the libgr suite ?

$ ldd /usr/bin/X11/xv
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.0
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5.0.5
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.2.18

Phil.

libgr is obsolete.  Perhaps you mean libpng et al ?  In which case, do
you know that xv actually supports being built like that ?
