Why is Discord a dependency for ivpn? #241

Closed SubGlitch1 closed 1 year ago

SubGlitch1 commented 1 year ago

Its not a Bug more of a question. Why is Discord a dependency for ivpn?? i am very confused as to why this would be a dependency.

  1. downloaded the .deb package for the latest version.
  2. Tapped it with debtap to create a .zst and then installed it with pacman which stated discord as a dependency. I also cannot uninstall discord now without ivpn breaking.
