Hello josch,

I cannot confirm. Did you install using calamares from a Debian Live CD of
Bookworm?

I have these live-* packages installed on my disk after installing from Debian
Live using Calamares:

live-boot, live-boot-doc, live-boot-initramfs-tools, live-config,
live-config-doc, live-config-systemd, live-task-base, live-task-gnome,
live-task-localisation, live-task-localisation-desktop, live-task-recommended,
live-tools

I'm quite amazed by this result. The live-* packages (and calamares)should have been removed after installation.


Which image did you use, can you provide the URL?

The trixie-prerelease ISO GNOME image shows no such packages afterinstalling with Calamares, see:

https://openqa.debian.net/tests/429395#step/_collect_data/14

With kind regards,
Roland
