> why are you installing so many packages that you don't need just to complain about it?

there are 1000s of packages, who has time to select a small subset of that? easier to install chubby swathes at a time.

and you can't install devel versions without bringing in many various forms of TeX

recently I install the emacs package on a system and it required python; that's sacrilege
