Note that a RPM requirement is a strict hard dependency. If htmlview is only needed to do "Manage Printing" in the Gnome desktop environmet, it is a requirement of Gnome. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

But we don't even have a "htmlview" binary in the distribution at all. It's not a dependency issue! The issue is the usage of a non-existant command. Google shows that htmlview is a little script which tries to determine the user's default browser. We have such a script as well, but it's called /usr/bin/desktop-launch and not htmlview. We should patch cups.desktop to use desktop-launch instead of htmlview. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Which is, however, still certainly better than showing something that doesn't work. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
