I wanted to install texmaker but it draws in all texlive packages as dependencies. I do not want that, since I don’t use texlive. I use MikTex instead. Does anybody know a way to install texmaker without texlive? I know it works perfectly with MikTex. Thanks in advance.

Perhaps
apt install texmaker --no-install-recommends

Nope. Still wants to install all texlive dependencies. Weird! I ended up installing the deb file from the texmaker site. Gdebi confirmed that all dependencies were met As they are. I think it's very weird that texmaker in the Debian repositories -forces- you to use texlive.

^Strange ... The command by brontosaurex shouldn't install texlive, as seen by this:
$ apt-cache depends texmaker | grep texlive
Recommends: texlive-latex-extra
Recommends: texlive-lang-english
Suggests: texlive-lang-all
OTOH, just tried on BL (in VBox):
$ sudo apt --no-install-recommends install texmaker

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
It doesn't install full texlive suite .... Perhaps you have something else which somehow requires full texlive?

Indeed, this is weird. I have no idea what other package has a need for texlive. Anyways, the installed texmaker deb file works perfectly with my MikTex install. Thanks for trying. I’ll check it myself in a virtual machine when I have time. Again, thanks. Glad to see that apt behaves as expected
