Bug#877771: Proposal: Downgrade -doc dependency from Recommends to Suggests
Package: texlive-extra
Severity: minor
Tags: Patch
Hi,
Case)
Some users have installed python3-sphinx, it can build PDF files from .rst
files, and it suggests "texlive-latex-extra". So, users who want to build
PDF try to install texlive-latex-extra via apt. And texlive-latex-extra has
"Recommends: texlive-latex-extra-doc", so -doc package is pulled via dependency.
And at every updates, texlive-latex-extra-doc (503MB) is pulled... :-(
It's waste of time/disks/bandwidth, however, perhaps they don't notice they
can remove texlive-latex-extra-doc without investigations.
(Note: specified texlive-latex-extra-doc as package but probably this issue
would be applied to other texlive -doc packages, too)
Suggestion)
Downgrade -doc packages dependency from "Recommends" to "Suggests".
Patch attached.
