Really it that it does, it"s a shared library and those are not optional under linux, you can have a read about ELF e.g here if you are intested https://lwn.net/Articles/631631/ Libraries are small and don't create real overhead, you probably have binaries pulling other libs you don't want. GTK for example does pull in libwayland and it's not optional either -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856054 Title: pulseaudio now depends on libsnapd-glib1 which recommends snapd Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The latest update for pulseaudio (1:11.1-1ubuntu7.5) in bionic now has libsnapd-glib1 as a dependency. This is complete and utter nonsense. I do not want cascading dependencies that have no business being installed on the systems I manage. Please rectify this at once.
