Trying to make sure I understand dependencies about jobeinabox HOT 2 OPEN

Hmmm, it seems that the php-cli package is installed as part of php so removing it from the list of packages installed by apt-get doesn't change anything.

That looks good to me.

sqlite3 could go in the "Used by languages" section, as it's only needed for SQL questions.

python3-pip is used to install various Python modules. pylint is one that's used by many Python teachers, but numpy and matplotlib are often added too. So a good tool to have around if using Python.

build-essential has multiple roles, not only in initial installation but also for maintenance (e.g. some Python 'wheels' need to be built from source when installing modules) and for some more difficult C/C++ programming questions, say when using 'make' to build an executable.

unzip is handy to have as it allows question authors to attach zip files to questions and unzip them in the template to provide a custom environment.

tzdata is used to set the timezone when processing the docker TZ build parameter (or so I assume - I didn't write that bit).
