Hi, the subject is not very clear, I guess, but I miss the right words to say it in short... When doing "zypper inr", zypper tries to install the recommended packages that are not yet installed. In my case, I get ===snip=== # zypper inr Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... The following 20 NEW packages are going to be installed: gstreamer-plugins-bad-lang libreoffice libreoffice-branding-upstream libreoffice-icon-theme-breeze libreoffice-icon-theme-galaxy libreoffice-icon-theme-hicontrast libreoffice-icon-theme-oxygen libreoffice-icon-theme-sifr libreoffice-l10n-en libreoffice-mailmerge libreoffice-math libreoffice-pyuno libreoffice-share-linker lifecycle-data-openSUSE obs-service-format_spec_file obs-service-obs_scm-common obs-service-recompress obs-service-set_version obs-service-source_validator obs-service-tar_scm 20 new packages to install. ===pins=== While it's generally a good idea to recommend the installation of LibreOffice, I want to avoid it here, since the version 5.3 deployed by openSUSE does not work for me. I already installed the packages from libreoffice.org: ===snip=== libreoffice5.3-5.3.5.2-2.x86_64 libreoffice5.3-base-5.3.5.2-2.x86_64 libreoffice5.3-calc-5.3.5.2-2.x86_64 libreoffice5.3-de-5.3.5.2-2.x86_64 libreoffice5.3-dict-de-5.3.5.2-2.x86_64 libreoffice5.3-dict-en-5.3.5.2-2.x86_64 libreoffice5.3-dict-es-5.3.5.2-2.x86_64 libreoffice5.3-dict-fr-5.3.5.2-2.x86_64 libreoffice5.3-draw-5.3.5.2-2.x86_64 libreoffice5.3-en-US-5.3.5.2-2.x86_64 libreoffice5.3-freedesktop-menus-5.3.5-2.noarch libreoffice5.3-impress-5.3.5.2-2.x86_64 libreoffice5.3-math-5.3.5.2-2.x86_64 libreoffice5.3-ure-5.3.5.2-2.x86_64 libreoffice5.3-writer-5.3.5.2-2.x86_64 ===pins=== Now I want to know which package recommends the installation of those various libreoffice packages. How would I do that? * I know "rpm -q --requires" and "rpm -q --whatrequires", but those packages are no requirements. * There is a "rpm -q --recommands", but this works in the wrong direction ;). What could I use instead of the unknown "rpm -q --whatrecommends libreoffice" (rpm: --whatrecommends: unknown option)? A "rpm -qa --recommends" generates a lot of output, but applying a "grep libreoffice" to it is quite senseless :-\ Also, YaST doesn't offer this feature, I can ask only for "Provides" and "Requires" here. Only when I go to package "patterns-openSUSE-office", I see that this package requires libreoffice (also via "rpm -q --recommends patterns-openSUSE-office"). But this was an easy guess, how can I proceed in cases that are not so obvious? Regards, Werner --
