Working on it.

When next build is ready, re-install plugin or install python3-icalendar and python3-pytz.

All merged.

Thanks.

Thanks for updating LCD4 Linux.

About the required python3-icalendar, when I manually install it from the feed, it installs two more packages, python3-pytz and python3-doctest. However, when I uninstall python3-icalendar, opkg leaves the other two packages on the box. Shoudn't these packages, that are now no longer needed, be removed automatically?

No. That's the normal behavior AFAIK.

You need to remove the run-time dependencies explicitly.

It could be used by other packages.

Opkg has options like '--autoremove' and '--force-removal-of-dependent-packages', but that does work the other way around. It removes packages which 'python3-icalendar' using as runtime-dep.

The opkg option '--autoremove' does the job.

Does this mean that '--autoremove' should always be used when manually uninstalling a package?

The plugin manager seems to use '--autoremove' by default.

If you uninstall LCD4Linux manually, does it uninstall the depend packages?

It is a bit confusing.

python3-pytz and python3-doctest are runtime-dependencies of python3-icalendar.

python3-pytz is a runtime dependency of lcd4linux plugin as well and python3-doctest not.

That means, you should not need to add python3-pytz as depend to LCD4Linux, because python3-icalendar will already install it.

Yes that's correct. although It's not a big deal

The runtime dependencies need a cleanup anyway.

Found a bug in LCD4Linux. Would you correct it if I send you a PM?

That's OK.

Although it's better to post bugs here, so others are aware of it and can help to fix it.
