I just talked to Michael Andres, our senior libzypp maintainer.

He said that those language specific packages should all have a "supplements" dependency which will be honored even if you choose to install without recommended packages.

Since you do get at least some translation packages, the mechanism works in principle. Still it is possible that some packages use the wrong mechanism, i.e. a "recommends" somewhere instead of "supplements" which is basically a reverse "recommends".

If you can tell us what packages are affected, we could go forward here (assigning the problem to the individual package maintainers). If not, I fear this will lead nowhere.

Is there a way to examine my -lang-packages whether they have the correct setup or not? If not i would have to do a second installation. However because i'm aiming for a very limited set of packages chances would be high that i only would find very few of the faulty ones. Isn't there a way (in OBS) to address all owners of -lang-packages or - even better - a way to check -lang-packages by script?

As for the missing display manager (i.e. only text mode login), we'd need y2logs.

As i already said in my comment #5: i don't have access to that system any more but both problems (no desktop-manager installed, missing language packs) can be reproduced at any time as i described in my initial post. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
