Description

I tried to install lazydocker but it depends on:

  • "docker-bin"
  • "docker-compose-plugin-bin"
  • "docker-buildx-plugin-bin"

I already have Docker installed as stated in the Docker documentation, and I think it shouldn't ask to install these dependencies since they are already installed by the system.

I also tried to modify the script changing pacdeps=("docker-bin" "docker-compose-plugin-bin" "docker-buildx-plugin-bin") by depends=("docker") but it says that docker does not exist in apt repositories.

Research direction

Start with the lazydocker-bin script's pacdeps declaration, which lists docker-bin, docker-compose-plugin-bin, and docker-buildx-plugin-bin, then read how Pacstall resolves package dependencies. The change is done when an existing Docker installation is handled without requiring redundant packages, while the package still installs its required functionality.
