Just doing a zypper dup on Tw from 20230424 to today's snapshot and there are 2928 packages to upgrade, with a total download size of 1.87GiB. About 2000 of those files appear to be texlive packages, many (perhaps most?) of which I probably don't need, except for package dependencies that I have no hope of unravelling.
There are texlive-babel- packages for languages I don't have installed (as far as I know) and will never use, but I have no idea what will break if I remove them and lock them to prevent them being reinstalled.
This just seems a little excessive to me, and seems to happen a little too often (because of auto-build triggers?).
Any suggestions?
Regards, Rodney.
I used "zypper rm 'texlive-*'" to remove all textlive packages. There were no other packages removed.
Thanks - just tried it here and did get the same result (with one emacs package being the exception, but I don't use emacs anyway). I've tried this in the past and got a different result - perhaps some previous dependencies were downgraded to recommends (or perhaps my memory is just faulty). In any case, 2917 unncessary packages removed, so that's good. I'll keep an eye out for anything trying to pull them back in.
