why are some lang packages now required installs? especially *gtk3-lang*
lately *gtk3-lang* seems to be reinstalled after I remove it.
fwiw: I routinely remove *-lang* packages as I have no benefit there. and the *get3-lang* package is over-riding "--no-recommends". maybe there are others but gtk3-lang is one I notice.
There are others. I force removed *-lang and then ran zypper al *-lang on each installation. That causes a bunch of non-broken "broken" packages that must be responded to by "breaking" various updates that need no -lang package on every zypper dup forced by a zypper up that leaves the unbroken "broken" packages at their old versions. Similarly, zypper occasionally won't install some new package without "breaking" it.
does this need a bug report?
IMO it does. IIRC, someone in a thread in one of the lists, or in a forum, or on IRC, or in another bug, told me each -lang package itself is not the problem, but a packaging problem of the bug that triggers it. I filed one similar in concept[1] but it got dup'd to another bug I filed in a similar vein[2].
