Do I need lynx installed?

[tjh]

A few years ago I installed Proxmox from an ISO, I think back at version 5.
I'm currently running version 6 and I see lynx (and lynx-common) want an update.

I've just apt purge'd them - I can't see why my Hypervisor needs lynx.

I'm just posting this to ask if that's OK - There's not some process that runs in the background that parses output from lynx or similar is there?

Thanks!

we try hard to have actual dependencies on all the tools we use like that - so if removing lynx does not remove any PVE / Proxmox packages, then none of our code should need it.

Hi,

lynx it is text-only browser. Useful in cases where you want to browse some LAN links, and you have only ssh !

Yes I'm familar with it (though I prefer links)

I just wondered if my hypervisor needed it

Which it doesn't.

Thanks very much for the replies!
