That's a good point where I want to jump in. How do I disable installing recommended packages in a way it works for zypper dup? Now, I am running zypper dup --no-recommends for that.

Thanks for the help. You are probably right. I think I installed via the Patterns selection in Yast when I first installed Gnome. I have removed all the packages ofund with your command, but `zypper dup` still wants to pull in those Gnome packages.
Does it also happen if you disable installing recommended packages?
Andreas.
edit /etc/zypp/zypper.conf and change "install Recommends = yes"
Thanks, I already set it to "no", but forgot to uncomment this line :-)
Thanks for asking the question. I was just about to ask.
Unfortunately, even after switching the toggle in zypper.conf, it is still attempting to install gnome control center. I have taken to locking down packages as Taboo in the meantime.
Before you lock down packages (which can become tedious after some time), please check which patterns are installed: rpm -qa 'patterns-*' If that includes some "*gnome*" patterns, then you simply might want to uninstall them. FWIW, I don't have any "*gnome*" patterns installed and get only updates for those Gnome packages which I installed on purpose. HTH, cheers. l8er manfred
