[opensuse-factory] Why is esound-daemon automatically installed on opensuse 12.3 when using zypper dup?
Dear all, Today I did a sudo zypper dup. I saw: sudo zypper dup root's password: Warning: You are about to do a distribution upgrade with all enabled repositories. Make sure these repositories are compatible before you continue. See 'man zypper' for more information about this command.

Firstly this really does belong on the opensuse list not factory. More likely a package recommends it being installed. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Without generating a solver testcase hard to say. ( zypper dup --debug-solver ) Likely a recommends or supplements or enhances somewhere. $ grep esound-daemon */*.spec esound/esound.spec:# esound-daemon as it also provides it gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good/gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good.spec:Supplements: packageand(%{name}:esound-daemon) libao/libao.spec:Supplements: packageand(esound-daemon:libao%{_SO_nr}) pulseaudio/pulseaudio.spec:Provides: esound-daemon = 0.2.41 pulseaudio/pulseaudio.spec:Obsoletes: esound-daemon < 0.2.41 Did you somehow block pulseaudio stuff?

On the contrary - it is very easy to say. If nothing requires it, but zypper throws it at you *nevertheless*, that is a pretty good sign that some Recommends: is in the game. On top of that, Recommends: are always processed over again, even if there is nothing to otherwise install, which is an odd thing to do. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Oh yeah, purged all pulseaudio stuff ;) Bye. -- *** Linux user # 198661 ---_ ICQ 33500725 *** *** Home http://www.kailed.net *** *** Powered by openSUSE *** -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

The 'problem' is multilayered:
libesd0 (the esound library) recommends the esound-daemon (which makes
sense... the lib does not forcibly require the daemon, but surely
benefits from it).
libesd0 is required by SDL, some wx framework libs and some other
things.
Pulseaudio has a submodule, called pulseaudio-compat-esound; which
obsoletes and provides esound-daemon (so it should have preference),
BUT: it ONLY obsoletes esound-daemon < 0.2.41 and provides esound-daemon
= 0.2.41;
Considering that esound-daemon in openSUSE Factory (and older) has been
at version 0.2.41 since somewhen in 2009, this obsoletes is a NOP in any
case.
