从下载的Debian 9.5 amd64软件包列表更新中删除图标文件？

debugcn 发表于 Dev

有点自言自语

情况

当我使用APT或APTITUDE更新Debian 9.5 amd64（稳定，后向端口，测试，不稳定）软件包列表时，截至撰写本文时，更新的下载大小为cca 60 MB，其中一半大小是图标文件，例如图标-128x128。

我相信我不需要下载图标，因为我没有使用GUI软件包管理器。

目标

我想将更新的下载大小限制为最小，以节省时间。

问题

是否可以在不下载图标文件的情况下更新软件包列表？更新下载中还有什么可以省略的？如果是，怎么办？如果没有，为什么？

您所看到的可能是的活动引起的appstream。

参见https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/sect-AppStream-IconCache.html或https://askubuntu.com/questions/775069/what-is-appstream-why-is-it-installed -它在做什么。

随着appstream安装的，sudo apt update会产生这样的事情（在Xubuntu上18.10）：

上面示例中图标的下载量相对较小，但在发行版中可能处于开发阶段的MB或MB。

如您所说，如果

我不需要使用GUI软件包管理器，因此不需要下载图标。

只需运行sudo apt purge appstream并检查输出，然后再继续：

$ sudo apt purge appstream*
