2 years ago See the attached output. The sheer number of dependencies is a little overwhelming. A few stand-out packages that make me scratch my head are things like abiword and the various aspell-* dictionaries.
I think what's happening is that apt is installing recommended packages by default, and something in the dependencies has changed between 18.04 and 20.04 to cause a lot of unnecessary packages to be brought in because of that.
Installing the package with
sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-pcl-ros --no-install-recommendsappears to mitigate the problem somewhat:
$ sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-pcl-ros --no-install-recommends

2 years ago I have researched this problem.
apt-rdepends -f Depends,Recommends -s Depends,Recommends ros-noetic-pcl-ros
Using this command, we can locate what brings gnome-shell (and hence gdm3).
The key part is ... "libnotify4" which has gnome-shell as Recommended dependency (ps. defaultly apt installs Recommended dependency)
https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/libnotify4 From Ubuntu's package description, we can find that, gnome-shell has been added to libnotify4's Recommended dependency in focal (Ubuntu20.04), resulting that, when you install libnotify4 in some way, gnome-shell is also installed.
Also notice that in jammy (Ubuntu22.04), gnome-shell in dependency has dropped from Recommended to Suggested. I think the package manager may have been aware of the problem and fixed it then.
My suggestion is that, when using Ubuntu server (20.04<=version<22.04),
always manually install the problematic libnotify4 in early setting
sudo apt install libnotify4 --no-install-recommends
This prevents unintentionally installing gnome-shell as dependency afterward.
ps. not sure if there is other libs besides libnotify4 has the same property. If this happens again, just use the same method to locate the problematic lib.

2 years ago Install notify-osd with apt before installing ros-noetic-pcl-ros:
sudo apt-get install notify-osd
sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-pcl-rosThanks to @mhosmar-cpr and David G from the VTK team for digging into this more. After determining that the issue didn't appear to be with the PCL packages themselves, our next suspect was VTK, which is included as a dependency. We opened a ticket on their GitLab page, and one of the developers there was able to dig into the issue more and identified the culprit as an altered dependency of ffmpeg:
I dug just a bit deeper, and found that the focal vs. xenial change occurred within ffmpeg. The libavutil56 package requires libopencl1, whereas the older libavutil55 package did not. -source
This dependency change introduces a dependency on then notification-daemon virtual package. If this dependency is not already satisfied, apt installs the default packages to resolve it, which is where the Ubuntu Desktop, GDM, and other graphical dependencies are pulled in from. Installing notify-osd first will provide notification-daemon, thereby resolving the dependency without pulling in gdm3 et al.
This works even if apt is configured to install recommended packages. (Note that on a command-line only system pcl_ros still pulls in a LOT of other dependencies, but you should at least be able to avoid having GDM suddenly present on your previously headless system.)

Solution found. See: https://github.com/ros-perception/perception_pcl/issues/355#issuecomment-1122792416
Original issue report
When building or installing this package on Ubuntu 20.04 with a command-line only installation, the following additional dependencies get installed:
Specifically in our case, the
ubuntu-session,network-manager, and packages relating to Gnome3 are actively hindering the performance of our robots. For example, it appears that the default power-management settings that get brought in via a dependency include automatic power-off/sleep after a fixed duration without keyboard or mouse interaction within approximately 20 minutes, causing the robot to shut down unless additional steps are taken to reconfigure the unwanted desktop session.Packages like
cheeseandaspellare unnecessary additions that eat up disk space, but aren't otherwise harmful. But I'm confused about why they're required as dependencies for a point-cloud processing package.Has anyone else used
pcl_rosin a command-line-only Ubuntu environment and seen this issue? And if you have, do you have a work-around to prevent the desktop packages and their dependencies from being installed?
