I can't finally speak for packages maintained in Ubuntu, but as Ubuntu is based completely on Debian the rules are quite the same. You probably need to understand what the fields 'Depends', 'Recommends' and 'Suggests' (and some more) are made for. As usual there is a policy written for almost everything in Debian and Ubuntu too (I guess). https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html > The Documentation which installs when i do > > sudo apt-get install kicad-doc-de > > is > > kicad-doc-de_201804090748+1378~17~ubuntu18.04.1_all.deb > > i only want to understand the why it's no critic in the package or the > method. Why should this? Is the documentation really needed to work technically with KiCad? If all maintainer would follow your logic all headless installations would also get a lot useless packages installed. There is a reason why the package format has more than a additional field 'Depends'. If you are not sure it's a good advice to first read the package description for further information. And also try to have a look into /usr/share/doc/$package to find mostly more information. -- Regards Carsten Schoenert -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-doc-devs Post to : kicad-doc-devs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-doc-devs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
