in reply to Danie van der Merwe • • •This is so cool. I wanted to try one ebook on my #Mobian #Pinephone so I went to install gnome-books.
...It wants to install the whole LibreOffice suite! π±

in reply to Normand C. • •ugh. libre-#$$@#$-office.
I've looked into it and it's because the package has a Recommends on unoconv (converter between LibreOffice document formats), which in turn Recommends the whole suite.
I've found that
apt install --no-install-recommends gnome-booksbrings down the dependency list to a much more reasonable size. (of course, some features of gnome-books will be missed, notably all those that relate to dealing with office formats).Disclaimer: I had to work with uno (accessing libreoffice from python programs) and I got traumatized by the experience :)
