Hi!
I would like to replace ntp with sdwdate on a headless system. However, when I try to
apt install sdwdate
I get this output:
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done

Need to get 60.8 MB/61.3 MB of archives.
After this operation, 680 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Why do I need so many graphic libraries and packages in order to install sdwdate? Isn’t this supposed to work as a substitute of ntp?
Thanks for your attention.
