I was about to install syncthing on a headless Debian 13 VPS and saw that it pulls in a huge number of packages (something like 120 of them). This is on a fairly ‘bare’ system so I realise it may need quite a lot of things but why does it need a load of X11 and Wayland stuff?
Just to be clear, what is the exact name of the package you’re trying to install? Are you talking about the official packages from https://apt.syncthing.net?
Ah, oops! I just realised I was trying to install syncthing version 1.x. I had added the syncthing repository but I hadn’t run “apt update”. Now that I have run “apt update” all is well, installing syncthing pulls in nothing extra at all.
Sorry for the noise.
