> Purg printer-driver-postscript-hp [3.16.5+repack0-1] > Purg hplip [3.16.5+repack0-1] hplip is formally dependent on policykit-1, but it is purely an option to ./configure script, a word in "Depends: " line and a file in install list of a package. Everything is easily removed and package continue to build, install and function PROPERLY after that. Tried that since 3.15 version, confirm it is still same for 3.16.5+repack0 version. Software supports policykit only as a BLOATY feature, not as a core dependency. printer-driver-postscript-hp depends on hplip, so removed with it. > Purg packagekit-tools [1.1.1-1] > Purg packagekit [1.1.1-1] > Purg policykit-1 [0.105-9+devuan1] > ---- > > So, aptdaemon depends on policykit and hplip and all the other printer > driver stuff as well? > > Me, as a simple user, i'm clueless ...
