Hello,

I tried to remove all of procmail, sendmail and postfix with zypper rm. Zypper wanted to remove 42 packages, to wit:
Can it not be (a) bug(s) that so much requires mail be installed?
Maybe that only one or two of the packages you listed really requires postfix, and everything else is caused by a dependency chain (to see an extreme example, try "rpm -e --test glibc" - funnily zypper will not even do that and offers to re-install glibc instead)
Can you please run rpm -e --test postfix procmail # add more packages if needed to find out which package has a _direct_ dependency?
scary:
susi:~ # rpm -e --test postfix error: Failed dependencies: smtp_daemon is needed by (installed) nmh-1.3-14.5.x86_64 smtp_daemon is needed by (installed) fetchmail-6.3.21-6.4.x86_64 susi:~ # rpm -e --test fetchmail susi:~ # rpm -e --test nmh error: Failed dependencies: nmh is needed by (installed) xmh-1.0.2-1.1.x86_64 susi:~ # rpm -e --test xmh error: Failed dependencies: xmh is needed by (installed) xorg-x11-7.6_1-1.1.noarch
and I cannot understand why xorg needs xmh and have removed this dependency from xorg-x11 in sr 124949
For the record, it's because xorg-x11 was including xmh before the big xorg packaging split. It just turned out that xmh (when included in xorg-x11) didn't have proper dependencies for what it needs.
see also https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=767063, we need to fix this properly.
I'm not sure we should drop xorg-x11 Requires as there are some files in this package that might be useful (I'm not sure, though). However, what we should do is change some of the Requires from xorg-x11 to Suggests, as this compatibility package doesn't have to bring the old useless deprecated X apps (and possibly everything related to xfs). We just need someone to closely look at all the Requires to check which ones are really important...
