Just informing that the I installed swiftfox via smxi in a minimal system and had to install two other packages for it to work:
libasound2 libdbus-glib-1-2
I've posted in the swiftfox forum because I think it's the package that must have the requirements updated but I'm informing in case someone wonders why it may not open.

The only time you wouldn't have those packages would be on a minimal system using a window manager. On any of the desktop environments they would already be installed.

libasound2 - shared library for ALSA applications, is needed for ALSA.

since adding dependency tests isn't a huge deal I'll try to remember to add this sometime soon, as craig says, it will almost always be there in normal systems. It is a bug in swiftfox packaging though, incorrect dependencies.
