adding libray has Library Manager removing "unused" ESP Async WebServer and espMqttClient #433

Sorry I'm somewhat new to GitHub procedures, so I'm not sure whether this should be filed as a potential bug or if it's just a configuration problem on my side, or some PlatformIO quirk.

I'm looking to connect an OLED display to the OpenDTU ESP32 board, so I added an SSD1306 library via the VScode/PlatformIO Libraries Registry.
But now the build fails because for some reason the Library Manager suddenly considers the ESP Async WebServer and espMqttClient libs to be "unused" and removes them with their dependencies, see log below.
I've tried various libs, always getting the same errors. Also I'm not even including/using the added library.
On Google I've found a suggestion that having explicit Includes for the "unused" libraries in main.cpp might prevent the unwanted removal but that didn't help.

If I remove/uninstall "my" library from the project, on the next build the "unused" libs will be re-installed by the Library Manager and the build does succeed.

I did play around with the Library Dependency Finder settings, but no combination made a difference.

Fresh install of VScode 1.74.0, PlatformIO Core 6.1.5/Home 3.4.3, OpenDTU build 9bfc704 cloned with git version 2.38.2.windows.1 (also deleted the project and cloned again).

Thanks for any help or ideas!

dont add the library using the UI... just add it to the platformio.ini as every other library...

For verification I just installed VScode/PIO on a Linux machine, git-cloned https://github.com/tbnobody/OpenDTU.git, did a successful build, added FastLED via the PIO Home -> Libraries -> Registry tab and on the next build had the same errors as described above.

If someone else could give it a try and check if they see the same behaviour on their setup, that would be really helpful.
Thanks!

You make it sound so easy! This being the first library to be added to my first PIO project to my first microcontroller project, it's all a bit confusing. :)
But manually adding the library did work, thanks!

Is this a problem with PIO in general or are there special circumstances with the OpenDTU build configuration?

This should be the case for all more advanced projects which are using the platformio.ini for locally installed libraries (e.g. Wled)
