[opensuse-factory] kde4-printer-applet requires gtk3 (surely this cannot be)
I HTTP installed fresh a minimal X Factory this AM, and am trying for a minimalist KDE4, since there doesn't seem to be a pattern for the purpose. ... # zypper in --no-recommends kde4-printer-applet Loading repository data...

Problem: kde4-printer-applet-4.6.3-2.1.i586 requires system-config-printer, but this requirement cannot be provided uninstallable providers: system-config-printer-1.2.5-6.1.i586[OSS] Solution 1: Following actions will be done: do not forbid installation of gtk3-tools-3.0.9-1.2.i586[OSS] do not forbid installation of gtk3-data-3.0.9-1.2.noarch[OSS] Solution 2: do not install kde4-printer-applet-4.6.3-2.1.i586 Solution 3: break kde4-printer-applet by ignoring some of its dependencies Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/3/c] (c): Why should _anyone_ need GTK3 to make KDE apps work? Do I actually need kde4-printer-applet, or is YaST2 sufficient for installing and controlling unshared ethernet printers? Don't other distros that don't have YaST2 make KDE work without GTK? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

The Applet itself does not require GTK3. However the applet is nothing more than a frontend for printer administration. The real work is done by system- config-printer and this is unfortunately not a KDE package and it is based on GTK3. There was an attempt to create an KDE application that would directly communicate with CUPS for printer/job administration, however AFAIK this was never released nor 100% completed.
