My reason for wanting to avoid python3-prov is that it pulls in python3-networksx and with that a bunch of quite large packages seemingly unrelated to most use cases of this tool. On one fairly minimal system, installing python3-gov requires 489MB. Suppressing recommendations of python3-networksx instead requires 160MB. Too bad these libraries are not optional :-( See also bug#917420. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
