i am privacy freak, hence not using android. however, after seeing size of libreoffice, is there any way an option to download only small portion. i have overheard aboout similar option in our os debian. this is must, only metered ethernet or wifi connections in my area. i am specifically interested about disadvantages compared to full package or normal update or upgrade.

You can download only parts of libreoffice that you need, e.g.

apt install libreoffice-writer libreoffice-calc

Also, you can use --no-install-recommends option:

apt-get --no-install-recommends install libreoffice-writer libreoffice-calc

I added an alias to my .profile so that --no-install-recommends is always set:

# grep 'no-install-recommends' .profile*
.profile:alias apt-get='apt-get --no-install-recommends'
