why does setup keep trying to install non-required packages?


Fairly often when I run setup just for updates, it selects new packages for installation that I haven't selected and that aren't required by any of my
other packages.

Right now setup wants to install the login package. I didn't select it, and if I unselect it the installation continues without any problem. It happened in setup-x86, and now setup-x86_64 wants to do it too. I try to keep my installation slim, so I don't want setup to add new packages that
aren't required and that I didn't select.

Has anyone else observed this? Know the reason? Are they new packages,
and setup assumes I want all new packages?

Thanks,
Andrew.
