Package Manager install removed packages every time project is opened.

I have an issue where every time I open / load my project Unity install a few packages which after that I remove. The next time I open the project the same things happen again and I really hate that!

Unity version: 2020.3.13f1
Packages installed and used by my project:

Packages which are always installed on project open/load:

I don’t use those packages so I don’t see any point why I should keep them, but Unity installs them every time I open the project which slows opening the project because of that.

Same here. It also enabled collab every single time I start open the project (since today).

Unity 2021.1.10f1

It’s also accompanied with some semi-broken error messages:

I’ve just found out that it was because I had the 3.0.0 hub installed. I downgraded to the production track 2.4.4, and everything seems to be working as expected again.

It begs the question, why the hell does the hub (1) force-enable collab and (2) modify the package.json of my project?

I’ll move the thread to the Hub forum just so they can look into this

In my case it’s not because of the Hun because I am not using version 3.0. Still using 2.4.4
