No, I don't agree with that statement. I'd be more inclined to believe that it's a bug in the command-line interface that doesn't allow you to do what the GUI does.They are, if you don't fiddle with a checkbox that you shouldn't be able to toggle in the first place. In other words it's a bug in the GUI that you are able to bypass the install of some Base packages.
The default installation package selected by the GUI is by no means a minimally useful one, and there are many reasons why one might want to install fewer packages than it includes. Being able to do so hardly seems like a bug.
Frankly, I was surprised the dependency tree for bash was so large. Bash depends on texinfo? I see the chain that gets you there, but it still surprised me.
Regards, Achim.
