Package: diffoscope Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, When trying to `apt-get install diffoscope`, I get 'systemd' as a recommended package. I suspect recommending systemd is not acceptable in Devuan. :) Have a lovely day! Alex Here's what I see: $ sudo apt-get install diffoscope Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree...

Alejandro, Thanks for this. As has already been mentioned, Devuan doesn't fork diffoscope and uses Debian's packages directly without recompilation. This explains why the recommendation is still present. Of course systemd itself is not available in Devuan[1], so apt simply ignores the recommendation for an unavailable package. Forking diffoscope (and the on-going maintenance that incurs) just to remove this sort of cruft is not a useful use of our limited resources IMO. If you can find breakage caused by the Recommends, please feel free to reopen and provide details. Mark [1] https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html??c=package&q=systemd

Makes sense. That's fine. > If you can find breakage caused by the Recommends, please feel free to reopen > and provide details. Maybe more concerning than the recommended package, are the ones that will be installed. I don't know if those are okay. Could you please confirm? systemd-boot-efi systemd-repart systemd-ukify Those 3 packages will be installed as part of the installation of diffoscope. Have a lovely day!

I have no in-depth experience of any. You can always remove them or even prevent apt installing them in the first with the --no-install-recommends flag. I don't see anything to suggest they are at odds with Devuan's primary purpose of avoiding systemd as PID1. HTH. Mark

I can't do that, because diffoscope doesn't work well if some recommended packages aren't installed, IIRC. I don't remember the exact details, but I had that issue in the past. > I don't see anything to suggest they are at odds with Devuan's primary purpose > of avoiding systemd as PID1. Okay. I don't know those packages either, so let's install them. :) > > HTH. It does! :-) Cheers, Alex -- <https://www.alejandro-colomar.es/>

That's probably so diffoscope can dissect UKI images in order to compare their contents. For some reason the secure boot signing tools are in the "systemd-repart" package, that might be required for signature checks as well. The bootloader, obviously, is not required for diffoscope to work. Simon
