Research direction

Find the manifest for BleachBit.BleachBit version 6.0.6.633 and inspect its Microsoft.VCRedist.2010.x86 dependency. First verify from the package manifest or BleachBit's Windows build information whether the runtime is bundled; remove the dependency only if it is unnecessary. Done when the manifest reflects the verified requirement.

Description

Help-Wanted Needs-Triage Package-Update
What type of update are you requesting?

A new version of an existing package

Current Package Identifier

BleachBit.BleachBit

Package Version

6.0.6.633

Please describe the changes you would like to see

The WinGet manifest for BleachBit.BleachBit version 6.0.6.633 declares Microsoft.VCRedist.2010.x86 as a package dependency.

As a result, WinGet automatically installs the legacy Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable.

BleachBit's Windows build process appears to bundle the necessary runtime libraries, and the BleachBit developer previously indicated that a separate runtime installation is no longer required.

Could someone verify whether this dependency is still necessary and remove it from the manifest if it is obsolete?
