New comment by Duncaen on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/21351#issuecomment-619573730 Comment: This would make the package orphaned for everyone depending on it and would also result in them not being part of the live systems. You can use the `ignorepkg` xbps configuration option to be able to uninstall soft dependencies you don't want, see `man xbps.d`.
