Hi, just upgraded to buster. Things went (mostly) smoothly -- thanks to all the kind souls at Debian! Just realized that firefox-esr seems (perhaps I'm wrong?) to depend on systemd now. - am I holding it wrong? - is there an alternative? BTW. midori seems to depend on systemd too. Thanks for any pointers, cheers -- tomas
Hi, I am running Debian Buster here as well (with systemd), but how do you get the impression that Browsers depend on it? Is it in some way a transitive dependencey? Because when querying directly, I see nothing: ~$ aptitude show firefox-esr | grep systemd ~$ aptitude show midori | grep systemd ~$ apt-cache policy firefox-esr firefox-esr: Installed: 60.9.0esr-1~deb10u1 Candidate: 60.9.0esr-1~deb10u1 Version table: *** 60.9.0esr-1~deb10u1 500 500 http://security.debian.org buster/updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 60.8.0esr-1~deb10u1 500 500 http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian buster/main amd64 Packages ~$ apt-cache policy midori midori: Installed: (none) Candidate: 7.0-2 Version table: 7.0-2 500 500 http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian buster/main amd64 Packages I know there are some people on this list who run systemd-free systems, so possibly if any of them has a GUI web-browser installed this might resolve the question more quickly than my "theoretical" approach from above?
