Gnumeric installs Gnome

Hello,

The simple command : apt-get install gnumeric will result in  a  lot of packages, which actually is part of gnome (evince,... and "millions" things).

The deb dependencies are therefore faulty.

Would it be some concern from Devuan about such issue(s)?

thank you

Re: Gnumeric installs Gnome

I checked this with...

apt-get install gnumeric ...vs... apt-get install gnumeric --no-install-recommends

Here are my results (please note: I didn't install it either way, so I don't know if its functionality was affected)

With apt-get install gnumeric...

Re: Gnumeric installs Gnome

that is why I switched to "APT::Install-Recommends "false";" a long time ago...
