[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#1017620: kicad: Minor kicad upgrade forces install of tons of dev packages and tcl+tk?

[Harri Haataja]

Package: kicad
Version: 6.0.6+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: harri.haataja at iki.fi

Dear Maintainer,

An upgrade has turned up:

   kicad (6.0.6+dfsg-1 => 6.0.7+dfsg-1+b1)

Trying to install that leads to a massive load of dev packages and tcl
and tk being installed. Surely this makes no sense for a desktop
application let alone a minor package upgrade.

$ sudo apt install --no-install-recommends --autoremove kicad
