unnecessary required dependency

[Nick Mann]

Hello. I believe your application has an unnecessary required dependency. The package in question is unity-webapps-common. I do not believe this package should be a required dependency but instead it should be recommended or suggested.

I used equivs to build a dummy/fake package and I installed the dummy package instead of unity-webapps-common. Everything works fine as far I can tell. I ran through every setting in the Tweak Tool. Nothing was broken. So it seems to be that it is not truly "required".

Why does it bother me so much that this package is required you might ask? It installed the Amazon web app which I am strongly against.

Would it be possible for you to move unity-webapps-common from the required dependencies to the recommended or suggested dependencies instead?

Thanks.

It seems this bug is a duplicate of bug #1098615 - currently unity-tweak-tool requires several gsettings schema files and unity-webapps-common depends on some packages, which installs these schema files, see https://github.com/freyja-dev/unity-tweak-tool/pull/132 for more info.
