From: Mark Hindley <mark@hindley.org.uk>To: Alejandro Colomar <alx@kernel.org>, 877-done@bugs.devuan.orgSubject: Re: bug#877: diffoscope: Installing diffoscope suggests installing systemdDate: Mon, 17 Feb 2025 09:57:30 +0000Alejandro, 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
