When using `zypper -R /blah` to install into an empty or near-empty directory for the sake of erecting a chroot and/or running a Linux container, extra packages like systemd get installed even though they are not required for normal operation. You can in fact rpm -e it again after the zypper run. So let's not install systemd in the first place. All of that can be read at https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/980389 . There are now some people who terribly insist that they must add %systemd_reqiures to every .service file shipping package. Like https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/976922 . So now we at an impassé. About *all* of our packages also depend on the presence of the "filesystem" package, yet there is no rpm require tag for that anywhere. Therefore, 980389 suggested, in a note bene, to preinstall systemd through these same means as aaa_base/filesystem rather than through Requires(pre). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
