I installed a package that needs glib on a server and noticed that python was installed as glib depends on it root@arthur:1# pkg info -d glib glib-2.74.1,2: libxml2-2.10.3_1 python39-3.9.15 <----- pcre2-10.40 libffi-3.4.3 gettext-runtime-0.21 libiconv-1.17 I can understand python being need for building glib, but as a run time dependency it's ridiculous, as well as exposing a massive attack surface. Does anyone know what's going on here? -- We build our computer systems the way we build our cities; over time, without a plan, on top of ruins. — Ellen Ullman
