My question was why are you installing cantor if you don't need it?

You don't use it, you don't need it, it drags in a bunch of dependencies
that require other packages to install more files too, yet you still want
it there.

Hint: I don't have cantor installed and the sky hasn't fallen in, at
least not yet.
