Package: gnome-software Version: 3.22.4-1 Severity: normal Can we please have appstream demoted to a Recommends ?
The appstream metadata is huge, doesn't seem to have deltas, and is a complete waste of resources for a general `apt update/upgrade` use case. Without appstream, my apt updates are on an average around 6 MiB. With appstream, it is a whopping 40+ MiB. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (990, 'testing-debug'), (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.1+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_IN.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gnome-software depends on: ii appstream 0.10.5-1 ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.26.0-2 ii gnome-software-common 3.22.4-1 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.22.0-1 ii libappstream-glib8 0.6.6-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.22.0-1 ii libc6 2.24-8 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.14.8-1 ii libcairo2 1.14.8-1 ii libenchant1c2a 1.6.0-11+b1 ii libfwupd1 0.7.4-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.2-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.2-2 ii libgnome-desktop-3-12 3.22.2-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.22.5-1 ii libgtkspell3-3-0 3.0.9-1 ii libgudev-1.0-0 230-3 ii libjson-glib-1.0-0 1.2.2-1 ii libpackagekit-glib2-18 1.1.4-3 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.3-3 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.3-3 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-17 ii libsecret-1-0 0.18.5-2 ii libsoup2.4-1 2.56.0-2 ii libsqlite3-0 3.15.2-2 ii packagekit 1.1.4-3 ii software-properties-gtk 0.96.20.2-1 gnome-software recommends no packages.
