OpenSSL is used for lots of things that aren't network-related.  I'm
under the impression that OpenSSL is used for the Qubes backup/restore
system.  A Qubes devloper would be able to answer with more certainty.

[qubes-users] Unnecessary things in dom0/templates?

2016-08-25 Thread arthur . summers
I just updated dom0 and saw a few packages - avahi and openssl - that made me 
curious as to why they are there. I'm all about having a lean system, so I 
remove things where and when I can. If there's a reason for these things being 
there, then that's cool, but since dom0 is network-isolated, that struck me as 
a little odd.

I'm also curious to know if other people have thoughts on certain packages and 
why they're included (in dom0 or in templates), so feel free to list them on 
this thread.
