Weird dependencies on .deb installer

[pedro-ricardo]

Environment

• OS: Mint 20.3 xfce x86_64
• nody-greeter version: 1.5.2

Description of feature

The Ubuntu install package (.deb) seems to have some unneeded dependencies that make the installation larger than it needs.

The install of the whole gcc and g++ compilers seems off. The package should need only the libraries like libstdc++ for example and not the whole compiler. This should make the installation way faster and lighter.

Possible solutions

It could be done the dumb way :smile:

• Install all build dependencies on a docker image, i.e ubuntu:latest
• Build the package to a custom install folder
• Copy this folder to a clean ubuntu docker image
• Run it
• Go on installing all that is asked for and write it down
