After this operation, 353 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

I know that icons can be downloaded directly from this repo but I want get updates without checking GitHub for new version.
Maybe there is another method how to get newest version without getting Libreoffice?

Anyway, thanks for great icons!

@fotonmoton papirus-icon-theme has no dependencies on LibreOffice. It just recommends libreoffice-style-papirus, which depends on LibreOffice. You can skip installing libreoffice-style-papirus package using a switch --no-install-recommends:

sudo apt install --no-install-recommends papirus-icon-theme

I recommend adding this option to apt.conf if you don't want to install any recommended and suggested packages https://askubuntu.com/a/179089/565749

@varlesh can't see a point, LibreOffice is a most popular pre-installed app of Ubuntu and derivatives.

@SmartFinn maybe moved depends from Recommends to Suggests?

@SmartFinn Привет :) Мы кстати догнали Пэпер по звездам

@varlesh я тоже это отслеживал :smile: Информация безполезная, но приятная.

@SmartFinn thanks, solved my problem.
