Probably because asciidoc recommends asciidoc-dblatex (used for producing LaTeX via docbook). Try 'apt install asciidoc asciidoc-dblatex-' to install just asciidoc without pulling in the other package.

- yrro 4y agoIt lets you do the equivalent of "apt install asciidoc; apt remove asciidoc-dblatex" in one command, so avoids downloading the unwanted packages only to remove them. "The requested action can be overridden for specific packages by appending a plus (+) to the package name to install this package or a minus (-) to remove it" https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/apt/apt.8.en.html https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/apt/apt.8.en.html
