So, one of these days I figured I'd make the installation on one
of my systems a bit slimmer, and I really don't need an IMAP server
on that machine.
tomonaga# rpm -qa | grep cyrus-sasl
cyrus-sasl-gssapi-2.1.25-17.2.x86_64
cyrus-sasl-plain-2.1.25-17.2.x86_64
cyrus-sasl-saslauthd-2.1.25-17.2.x86_64
cyrus-sasl-crammd5-2.1.25-17.2.x86_64
cyrus-sasl-2.1.25-17.2.x86_64
cyrus-sasl-32bit-2.1.25-17.2.x86_64
cyrus-sasl-digestmd5-2.1.25-17.2.x86_64
Alas, when removing cyrus-sasl, zypper is inclined to remove quite
a bit more including the kernel, Firefox, and a load of others?
Something is overly aggressive in terms of dependencies it seems?
Or am I missing something?
tomonaga# rpm -qa | grep cyrus-sasl | xargs zypper rm
