[Bug 693083] New: Package stardict has unnecessary dependencies, e.g. Chinese and Russian dictionaries
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693083 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693083#c0 Summary: Package stardict has unnecessary dependencies, e.g. Chinese and Russian dictionaries Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: danzl@mbi-berlin.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1 The excellent stardict package on openSUSE depends on a variety of different Chinese and Russian dictionary packages. I consider this a 'bug' because installing stardict without those dicts doesn't "break" it and they are a unnecessary big download. The complete package cost 200+ MB download volume, which really is inappropriate. Despite, not everyone wants to learn Russian and Chinese. Additionary dictionaries should be completely optionial, in my opinion. I din't find a way to view the dependencies for a specific package with zypper, so I can't tell which dicts it depends on. Also, I believe this issue is specific to 11.4. Thank you in advance.

Package with sounds for StarDict has "Provides: locale(stardict:en)" and packages with English-Russian dictionaries have "Provides: locale(stardict:en)" and "Provides: locale(stardict:ru)". For me as Russian user it is very useful to have these packages installed by default together with StarDict, but I don't know why it affects other users.
Kirill, I used the english enviroment, and when I install the stardict, it select also stardict-dic-enru-engcom and stardict-dic-enru-mueller7, I thought it's not very friendly, cause I don't need it at all. The better way is that let user to decide what they need to install.

I've removed "Provides: locale(stardict:en)" line from stardict-dic-enru-engcom package: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=stardict-dic-enru-engcom&project=Education
Could you please check it? If it is OK, then I will do the same for stardict-dic-enru-mueller7 and commit changes to the Factory.
Sorry reply you late, it looks fine, but I can't test it now, thanks a lot. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
