(This is a half-rant half actual question)
I wanted a nice qt theme to use on Scribus since Arc Dark doesn’t work on there. When I tried to install it, pacman said this will install 50 packages. 300 Mb in total.
Why does a theme need packages such as Kauth and Kwallet?
I’d check that you’re actually installing the most appropriate package. For instance on Ubuntu there’s
kid3which is a MP3 tag application that will pull in the entire k desktop environment. Or you can installkid3-qtwhich packages its own version of those dependencies and doesn’t pull an entire desktop environment in if you’re using a non-kde environment.Ubuntu is really bad with this. Installing npm pulls adwaita icon theme, xorg and half the gnome desktop for some reason.
When you’re not telling us which package you’re trying to install in which packaging system, the only meaningful answer is: you’re trying to install the wrong package.
Sorry. I’m using
pacman(default in Arch Linux) and I’m trying to install the breeze qt theme package,breeze.Really, an Arch user who didn’t mention that they’re using Arch, there’s certainly a meme hiding here somewhere!
the original post talks about pacman
but how could we be sure they weren’t talking about the game
