I recently installed a new laptop with Tumbleweed instead of my old habit of just moving over the installed disk. Now I'm facing some issues that were not present before in my old installation.
One of these issues is that something wants to pull in addiditonal -lang packages that I do not want:
mixi:~ # zypper -v dup --no-recommends [...] The following 8 NEW packages are going to be installed: cpupower-lang 6.8.6-7.9 file-roller-lang 44.1-1.1 gcr-lang 4.3.0-1.1 gnome-online-accounts-lang 3.50.1-1.1 gtk3-lang 3.24.41-2.1 icewm-lang 3.4.5-3.1 pipewire-lang 1.0.4-3.1 xz-lang 5.6.1.revertto5.4-3.1
As you can see, I already added "--no-recommends" as every experienced user obviously always does, but the *-lang are still added.
If you used --no-recommends, then the proposed packages surely are due to a strong require, which means after installation you can `rpm -e xz-lang` and see who's hard-requiring it. That, or `zypper lloc` is now independent of --no-recommends :-/
