[Mattia Rizzolo <mattia@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

considering I made an effort to have the very same package both in
debian and in ubuntu I'd say nearly whatever affects scribus in ubuntu
affects scribus in debian.

Anyway, in ubuntu the scribus binary (from xenial) has the following
binary relationships (version constraints stripped):

 Depends: ghostscript, python-tk, scribus-data, libc6, libcairo2, libcups2, libfontconfig1, libfreetype6, libgcc1, libhunspell-1.3-0, libhyphen0, libjpeg8, liblcms2-2, libpodofo0.9.3, libpython2.7, libqt4-network, libqt4-xml, libqtcore4, libqtgui4, libstdc++6, libtiff5, libxml2, zlib1g
 Recommends: cups-bsd, fonts-dejavu, fonts-liberation, hyphen-hyphenation-patterns, icc-profiles-free, xfonts-scalable | gsfonts-x11

Now, the only thing I think it's minimally related to libreoffice is
hyphen-hyphenation-patterns, where just about all packages providing it
*Suggest* (note that suggested packages are not installed by default)
libreoffice-writer.

Can you try removing whatever libreoffice package is installed and see
what else it removes, if anything?  Can you also try to install scribus
using the --no-install-recommends flag of `apt install`?  I can't really
think of any of those dependencies pulling in libreoffice...

Title:
  Scribus always installs LibreOffice as dependency

Status in scribus package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I usually don’t have LibreOffice installed, i never use it and always
  takes a huge disk space (the hard disk i have isn’t that large)

  The problem is, as graphic designer, is important to me having Scribus
  installed - and on Ubuntu, Scribus always has LibreOffice as
  dependency (i wonder why), and it’s annoying having to prevent it
  being installed, or getting demotivated by installing Scribus because
  such annoying issue

  I don’t know if the same issue happens on Debian

  Thanks and Cheers,
  p.
