Package: libpackagekit-glib2-18 Version: 1.2.5-3 Severity: normal libpackagekit-glib2-18 currently recommends packagekit, which leads to its installation when installing any software that depends on libpackagekit-glib2-18 for packagekit support, such as simple-scan. But the use of packagekit may be optional, such as with simple-scan.
So libpackagekit-glib2-18 should not recommend packagekit. Packages that want packagekit to be installed should directly depend on it (or recommend it). This is what gnome-packagekit, gnome-software, gstreamer1.0-packagekit and deja-dup already do, for instance. -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.17.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libpackagekit-glib2-18 depends on: ii libc6 2.33-7 ii libglib2.0-0 2.72.1-1 Versions of packages libpackagekit-glib2-18 recommends: pn packagekit <none> libpackagekit-glib2-18 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
