Comment # 9 on bug 978289 from S. B.

> Well, it says "Nothing to do", so it looks like I'm not missing any recommends.

OK, two discoveries: First of all, `zypper inr` does *not* override
`solver.onlyRequires = true` in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf as I had expected. So I
removed `solver.onlyRequires = true` and ran it again. This time it found a
whopping 725 new packages to install, 1.3 GiB on the disk. I think I feel
justified in not installing recommends. :-P

The second discovery is that fixed the problem. So it is indeed due to a
missing dependency that is probably listed somewhere as a soft recommend that
should actually be a hard dependency. But which is it? I really don't want to
add all that unnecessary bloat to my systems and my SuseStudio appliances. I'm
attaching the entire list of installed recommends.

Thanks for the help!
