I don’t use Xarchiver. It is inadequate for creating password-protected 7-Zip files in Thunar using thunar-archive-plugin. I use and prefer file-roller
instead.
However, for some reason when I do apt remove xarchiver
, whonix forces me to uninstall some core whonix packages.
I see I can apt-mark hold whonix_dev_package_name
, but that’s cumbersome. Is there a better way to do this? Why is Xarchiver forcibly linked to other whonix packages when there’s other alternatives the user may want to use like ark
or file-roller
? (Or even PeaZip.)
