Package: texmacs-doc Version: 1:2.1.4+ds-3 Severity: minor X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, As the bulk of debian users I automatically install "Recommended packages. Now, it happens that texmacs Depends on texmacs-doc which Recommends giac-doc which Recommends xcas which Recommends a lot of stuff. Result: I wanted to install texmacs, which is an editor, and I realized that xcas, some cas libraries, R, fortran, lapack and other CAS/numerical stuff -- cool but unrelated with editing -- where also installed. I understand and appreciate that texmacs is CAS friendly, but the user should be allowed to chose which CAS to install and which not. (Nothing against xcas and friends!) Please, consider downgrading the relation to "texmacs-doc Suggests giac-doc", which would fix in a simple way this weird behavior. -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (900, 'stable-updates'), (900, 'stable-security'), (900, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.12.48+deb13-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled texmacs-doc depends on no packages.
