Consider weakening some dependencies of udisks2
Last modified: 2022-07-08 09:19:57 UTC
I noticed that on vanilla TW installs there are various filesystem related packages present which aren't really needed. udisks2 has a hard dependency on cryptsetup, dosfstools, e2fsprogs and xfsprogs, which are only needed if the user wants to use those specific features. It might be better to only recommend or even suggest those.

Hm, the idea looks ok, but most of these deps come from upstream: https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/blob/master/packaging/udisks2.spec would you mind discussing that upstream first? Otherwise I will do it.

I wouldn't, but I guess you know upstream better than I do.
