The lock not breaking the update does show that these lang packages are only recommended and not required. But then why does "--no-recommends" not stop them from being installed?
I don't know. I don't normally use --no-recommends /flag/ with zypper, though I do deselect the enable recommends /option/ during installations. Instead I have:
# grep yReq /etc/zypp/zypp.conf solver.onlyRequires = true
That's technically the same as issuing "--no-recommends" on the command line. Sincs zypper still in 2024 is unable to deal with drop-in config files, I'm avoiding changes to zypp.conf as it will conflict with updates all the time and just put everything on the command line if possible.
# zypper ll | grep lang 3 | *-lang | package | (any) |
As I wrote, that's not a good workaround for my usecase, as I want *some* lang packages, but only a few. -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman
