[Bug 1571942] Re: remove qt from Ubuntu GNOME seed

 

The Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 images doesn't include fcitx. The only thing
bringing Qt in was that evolution-data-server-online-accounts
recommended signon-plugin-password. That's fixed for yakkety:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-data-
server/3.21.90-0ubuntu3

For the live seed, I copied Ubuntu's live seed which gave us extra
languages and fcitx. To get qt off though, I made these changes

- thunderbird locales (not related to Qt)
- fcitx-frontend-qt4
- fcitx-frontend-qt5
- fcitx-ui-qimpanel
- fcitx-mozc
+ !fcitx-frontend-all (blacklisted so we get the alternate recommends instead)

I could have kept fcitz-mozc and just blacklisted its gui config tool
(which is written in Qt) but I guess Japanese typists can either use
ibus or install fcitx-mozc themselves if they want it. The mozc config
tool has a really ugly icon in GNOME Shell anyway…

Bug description:
  We really don't want qt5 on our default install, currently its being
  pulled in by fcitx and maybe evolution-data-server. This needs to be
  fixed, but perhaps to late for 16.04, so will target the 16.04.1
  images.
