considering I made an effort to have the very same package both in debian and in ubuntu I'd say nearly whatever affects scribus in ubuntu affects scribus in debian.
Anyway, in ubuntu the scribus binary (from xenial) has the following binary relationships (version constraints stripped): Depends: ghostscript, python-tk, scribus-data, libc6, libcairo2, libcups2, libfontconfig1, libfreetype6, libgcc1, libhunspell-1.3-0, libhyphen0, libjpeg8, liblcms2-2, libpodofo0.9.3, libpython2.7, libqt4-network, libqt4-xml, libqtcore4, libqtgui4, libstdc++6, libtiff5, libxml2, zlib1g Recommends: cups-bsd, fonts-dejavu, fonts-liberation, hyphen-hyphenation-patterns, icc-profiles-free, xfonts-scalable | gsfonts-x11 Now, the only thing I think it's minimally related to libreoffice is hyphen-hyphenation-patterns, where just about all packages providing it *Suggest* (note that suggested packages are not installed by default) libreoffice-writer. Can you try removing whatever libreoffice package is installed and see what else it removes, if anything? Can you also try to install scribus using the --no-install-recommends flag of `apt install`? I can't really think of any of those dependencies pulling in libreoffice... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1545493 Title: Scribus always installs LibreOffice as dependency To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scribus/+bug/1545493/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
