Public bug reported: On cosmic as of 2018-08-29:
qemu-system-$arch packages appear to Recommend qemu-system-gui. In turn, this means qemu-system-gui pulls in libgtk-3-0, which will pull in icon themes and all kinds of other things that probably shouldn't have to be on a server: mtrudel@kuebiko:~$ sudo apt install libvirt-bin libvirt-daemon libvirt0 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done libvirt0 is already the newest version (4.6.0-2ubuntu2).
