gtk-update-icon-cache is part of gtk+2: adding gtk+2 to run_depends just
to update the icon cache (which only gtk apps can use) is overkill to
say the least!
As from now, each time icons are installed under %D/share/icons, we try
to execute gtk-update-icon-cache and if it is not there, we just ignore
the error.
What it means is that if you have gtk+2 installed, then it'll run fine
and your apps will be able to use the cache. Otherwise, it will silently
fails which is fine since it means none of your apps would have been
able to take advantage of the cache anyway.

Supercat is a program that colorizes text based on matching regular
expressions/strings/characters. Supercat supports html output as well as
standard ASCII text. Unlike some text-colorizing programs that exist,
Supercat does not require you to have to be a programmer to make
colorization rules.

Randtype reads either standard input or text files and displays the
output, character-by-character or line-by-line, at random intervals.
The randomness can be refined on the command line and special things can
be done with user defined characters and strings.

DigiTemp is a simple to use program for reading values from 1-wire
devices. Its main use is for reading temperature sensors, but it
also reads counters, and understands the 1-wire hubs with devices
on different branches of the network. DigiTemp now supports the
following 1-wire temperature sensors: DS18S20 (and DS1820), DS18B20,
DS1822, the DS2438 Smart Battery Monitor, DS2422 and DS2423 Counters,
DS2409 MicroLAN Coupler (used in 1-wire hubs), and the AAG TAI-8540
humidity sensor.

zzuf is a transparent application input fuzzer. Its purpose is to find
bugs in applications by corrupting their user-contributed data (which
more than often comes from untrusted sources on the Internet). It works
by intercepting file and network operations and changing random bits in
the program's input. zzuf's behaviour is deterministic, making it easier
to reproduce bugs. Its main areas of use are:
* quality assurance: use zzuf to test existing software, or integrate it
into your own software's testsuite
* security: very often, segmentation faults or memory corruption issues
mean a potential security hole, zzuf helps exposing some of them

WordNet is a large lexical database of English, developed under the
direction of George A. Miller. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs
are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets), each expressing
a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by means of conceptual-semantic
and lexical relations. The resulting network of meaningfully related
words and concepts can be navigated with the browser. WordNet is
also freely and publicly available for download. WordNet's structure
makes it a useful tool for computational linguistics and natural
language processing.
