Evince, a 'document viewer', has multiple backends. Traditionally, evince was used for displaying PDF and PS files (of which PS is even debatable).
A couple more backends exist: comicdoc, tiff, xps, just to name the ones I know from head.
None of them is strictly required for evince - as long as you don't open any such file type with it.
I ran into this during the 42.2 => 42.3 updates on my family's machines. Evince was really useless because *no* plugin was installed afterwards :-) And still I prefer --no-r instead of accumulating random cruft with every update.
This works as expected, and does what we want - but only as long as nobody goes --no-recommends.
What works for me mostly is: fresh installation (which gets the recommends installed), then switch to "--no-r". Once every few years find something like the evince breakage and handle it. -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
