on ubuntu 20 a lot of stuff depends on libgmp:
$ apt-cache rdepends libgmp10 | wc -l
2442
$ apt-cache rdepends libgmp10 | grep -i crypt | wc -l
28
some examples:
gcc-9
gawk
g++-9
dnsmasq-base
cpp-9-s390x-linux-gnu
will the infidels who argue that crash in python is nothing
still will claim that gmp crash in any of the 2442 packages
is still nothing?
