Public bug reported:
As of version 0.96.24.24, software-properties-common declares
dependencies on gir1.2-goa-1.0, gir1.2-snapd-1, and gir1.2-secret-1.
This in turn pulls in a variety of transitive dependencies, including
glib-networking, which was noticed because it is now part of the cloud
image used for autopkgtests and breaks tests on some packages.
We include software-properties-common in the server seed in order for
the add-apt-repository command to work. add-apt-repository definitely
doesn't seem to be making use of any of these other gir modules. I
don't think this dependency is added at the right level; I think the
dependency needs to be moved up to whichever package is actually making
use of the canonical-livepatch information - which appears to be
software-properties-gtk.
