The control center(s) will request at least a minimum amount of YaST packages. So, as mentioned above, set "yast2-core" to "taboo". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Thanks for your reply Ancor, I have attached the logs, extracted as described in the link you provided. I think I understand the point of patterns, however, I found awkward that unchecking Office or Multimedia indeed left out software related to those categorizations, while unchecking YaST2 pretty much left it intact, so it let me wondering if that was the expected behavior. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

So the installer is actually honoring the package/patterns dependencies as expected. Although I agree is not obvious at first sight for someone not familiar with the concepts of patterns, taboos, etc. From that point of view, I'm closing the bug. (In reply to Alejandro Morales Lepe from comment #7)

Is YaST a dependency in that case? or is it safe to remove it or expect it not to be present in an openSUSE installation?

It's totally safe and fine to run an openSUSE system without YaST installed. That's what openSUSE MicroOS does, for example. I know LCP was reorganizing the YaST patterns to make them more granular. So I'm adding lcp to CC. In case he wants to add something, or to make some adaptations to the KDE patterns based on this bug report. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
