This also means that a dependency is missing from the glibc version

[Duncaen]

util-linux deprecated col and removed it when build for musl.

No, this only affects musl and there is no missing dependency.

I know.

No, this only affects musl and there is no missing dependency.

This is false. Even on glibc, this can happen, like so:

$ sudo xbps-remove base-container util-linux
$ sudo xbps-install vim cppman
$ cppman cout
/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/cppman/lib/pager.sh: 59: col: not found
$ sudo xbps-install util-linux
$ cppman cout # works fine

Feel free to try it yourself.

Well you uninstalled something that is considered part of the base system.
