Issue/Bug Description:

Version 18.04.23 created a dependency on gnome-shell, via a new dependency on gnome-shell-extension-system76-power, which 18.04.22 did not have.

When I try to upgrade system76-driver, apt-get wants to install 47 additional packages (I use XFCE):

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  bolt evolution-data-server evolution-data-server-common

The following packages will be upgraded:
  system76-driver
1 upgraded, 47 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

Expected behavior:

I expected a stable update without drastic changes since 18.04 is an LTS release.

Other Notes:

My desktop runs XFCE (via xubuntu-desktop) rather than Gnome. Some of the packages it wants to install are things I've tried to keep off of my system.

Maybe the gnome-shell-extension-system76-power dependency could be changed from Depends to Recommends? Apt would still install it by default, but it'd no longer be mandatory.

We're updating the gnome-shell-extension-system76-power momentarily, so that the extension will not depend on gnome-shell. The intent here was to ensure that system76-power and the only current graphical interface to it get installed, but one important bit of the dependency shuffling wasn't released with the others.

I think this should be resolved now. Gnome Shell is no longer depended on by the system76-power related packages. Thanks for reporting this, and helping us catch this quickly!
