However, I would like to avoid the dependency chain of the current SuSE lsb package. Please consider splitting the lsb_release command out of the lsb package. fyi, precedent for this exists in Debian 5.0. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. N/A 2. 3. Actual Results: Need to install lsb to obtain the lsb_release command, pulling in a large amount of dependencies. Expected Results: lsb_release is provided by a separate package - e.g. lsb-release. lsb-release is a requirement of the lsb package. If lsb-release is installed and the lsb package is not, the output of the lsb_release doesn't claim compliancy with any lsb modules. -- 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.
