I'm attempting to install the boinc client on an Ubuntu Server x64 computer. Since boinc-client is in the repositories, I ran sudo apt-get install boinc-client. However it apparently wants me to install all this:

Code:
The following NEW packages will be installed:

libxi6:i386 libxrender1:i386 libxss1:i386 libxt6:i386 libxxf86vm1:i386 qdbus:i386 x11-common


Looking through there you see a bunch of packages related to running X: libqt4, libasound, libxrenderer, libdrm-nonveaula(!), etc. But why does the client try to install all this stuff? More importantly why does the x86 version of boinc-client on Ubuntu Server not install this stuff?

Any suggestions on what to do? I don't want to fill the server with X nonsense

You can try to install the offical BOINC client from http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download. Normaly the offical BOINC client has not as much dependencies like the Ubuntu BOINC client.
I guess the Ubuntu peoples has included also the BOINC manager and so they have the lot of dependencies...

It actually doesn't include boinc-manager, that's a separate install

It's also installing dependencies of dependencies. Yet, it's an unusual number, possibly an indication that you have a barebone installation. Nothing to see here, move along.
