Closed issue by mvf on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/49901 Description: ### Is this a new report? Yes ### System Info Void 6.8.4 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rrrdFFFFFFFFFFFFFF ### Package(s) Affected libreoffice-common-24.2.2.2_1, libreoffice-dictionaries-24.2.2.2_3 ### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro? _No response_ ### Expected behaviour Installing LibreOffice does not install dictionaries. - There's no way to know which languages (if any) the user wants. - They're not dependencies, LibreOffice runs just fine without, spellchecking/hyphenation is just unavailable. Maybe an `INSTALL.msg` could inform the user to install the dictionaries they need. ### Actual behaviour `libreoffice-common` now depends on the `libreoffice-dictionaries` metapackage, which in turn pulls in all dictionaries under the sun, adding up to hundreds of MB: ``` $ xi libreoffice-writer [*] Updating repository `https://repo-default.voidlinux.org/current/x86_64-repodata' ...
