Yes, that's ok. There is a tick box for the multimedia pattern in software management. Just untick it. It is not a requirement.

Why do you think it is illogical? It's not only for laptops. If you really think those dependencies are absurd, open a bugzilla requesting the dependencies be dropped, and see what they say. But he just went ahead and said yes to uninstall kde. Is that logical?

You hit it right on the head, Bob! Thanks for clarifying things (i was not going to try as it seems some people just want to type and don't read the mail right).

There sure is.

Then again, maybe not. Take this example of a newly installed 10.3 KDE system with misc. multimedia stuff installed (from packman et al): "openSUSE update" keeps telling me there's "New software updates available" open it up, click 'details', I get; (selected) amarok "fixes to improve..." "recommended" version=4492-0 (unselected) openmotif22libs "64bit package added..." "optional" version=4540-0 Now; I'm messing about, copying misc. configs from backups etc. - setting desktop preferences, doing the usual personalization stuff. Plenty of times logged out/back in, system rebooted for whatever other reasons. Every time I'm logged back in, the updater tells me there's 'new' updates available. Many times I told the updater to 'update', and everytime it comes back with 'new updates' status. At this point I'm pretty fed up with the whole thing, especially since I don't much care for Amarok anyway. So then I start thinking about just uninstalling the thing, so I can have a *reliable* status from the 'updater'. Incidentally it's around the same time I check the mail and see this thread. Uninstalling Amarok; a13:/home/jon # rpm --test -e amarok error: Failed dependencies: libamarok.so.0 is needed by (installed) amarok-xine-1.4.7-37.4.i586 libamarok.so.0 is needed by (installed) amarok-yauap-1.4.7-37.4.i586 amarok = 1.4.7 is needed by (installed) amarok-xine-1.4.7-37.4.i586 amarok = 1.4.7 is needed by (installed) amarok-yauap-1.4.7-37.4.i586 ...right.

It's not so much the megabytes, rather it's about system consistency. I'm aware that packaging errors happen, but these should be confronted and solved rather than be 'swept under the rug'. And a blanket "just uninstall the whole 'selection'" isn't really a proper solution IMHO. I *want* multimedia, just not the specific application. Now, if that application (or one of it's 'supporters') has a circular dependency that prevents the 'updater' from performing *it's* duties, then that application MUST DIE, and I'll consider the time killing it well spent.

No, it's quite possible to uninstall KDE and yet still have a fully working KDE desktop. In this case, all that's happened is that the KDE _pattern_ has been removed, probably along with any other patterns that depend on the KDE pattern being present, but not any of the packages that were installed by those patterns.

Indeed. I should have thought of that.

Not really - the pulling hairs bit... I'm way past that.

What *is* kind of annoying is that the updater *still* has this 'amarok' update, despite the fact that all amarok rpms were uninstalled yesterday.

Just a followup on the "sticky" amarok-update; After mucking about with 'zypper' for a while, trying to get it refreshed to a point where it would realize there was no reason to offer me an amarok update, I finally went to yast online update instead; It too had the same update as "preselected". In the end I decided to just let it (YOU that is) update, since I could just remove whatever would be installed afterwards. YOU ran, went through the motions of updating amarok, finished. Afterwards rpm -qa | grep -i amarok still comes up empty. So I'm all happy now; Amarok is gone, updater applet is green (no updates). So there. /jon -- YMMV -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
