A simple request (MkHexGrid) turned into ...

[Michael]

So I thought I'd install a simple little hex map generator. Mkhexgrid.

Hasn't been updated in years, should be simple, right?

Three versions of Python (37, 38, and 39)
A full reinstall of X

I mean, I can sort-of understand perl, one python, and ssl -- maybe it needed to rebuild something, and needed updated ssh fetching and rebuilding the compilation environment.

But everything else? And three versions of python? And not just python 2 vs python 3.

I'm assuming that somewhere, some graphical library was being used that could output to X as well as to ascii/curses. I just have no idea what. 

All I wanted was to generate a PNG hexmap.
At least it was able to fetch binaries for pretty much everything, and not compile everything.
