I see. Well I guess either I just uninstall it then or make a dummy package to fulfill the "dependency". Still, it's kind of a pity that more and more packages enforce installation of further packages even though they're not really needed (and often so, not even for core functionality). I mean it doesn't always have to have consequences like with XZ, but may still be annoying. Regards, Philippe
