Hello,
I have a use case where I need to reduce Raspberry Pi OS's (Bookworm's) disk consumption while still being able to run Chromium on labwc. Using `dpigs`, I've already identified packages that consume the most disk space and removed several, but I'm having trouble removing some unnecessary packages due to dependencies.
For example, I don't need both wayfire and labwc, so I'd like to remove wayfire. However, if I'm using labwc, and run `sudo apt purge wayfire` followed by `sudo apt autoremove`, the entire desktop breaks. It seems the `apt autoremove` is removing dependencies that are still needed by other installed packages. I assume that is a bug in the packaging of those packages not properly declaring their dependencies. Who can I inform or submit a pull request to to remedy that?
If I am mistaken about my assumptions above, does anyone have any suggestions that might help me remove packages like wayfire or others to help me reduce disk consumption?
