Hi, ki18n which creates the package libKF5I18n5 now requires iso-codes-lang. Why on the earth would I need all the translated po files for languages I do not need. As far as I can tell requiring the extra language po files doesn't bring a plus benefit to me other than an unnecessary 14 MB of nonsense. Why not just recommend it ? Before I make a bug report, I want to understand the thinking

From https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/934377:
iso-codes alone isn't very useful without its translations and causes test failures in some dependent packages (eg: kitinerary).

I assume that is an over-generalisation, based on the test suite of one single package that tests translations. Most users, running on English systems, will not ever care for the translations. iso-codes itself is useful without translations in such a system. iso-codes-lang has relevant supplements on the locales, so that users installing in other languages than Enlgish will get it auto-installed. And all that is also the reason why https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/934377 is not accepted yet. Cheers, Dominique

Interesting there is an accepted request https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/934383 Your comment about request 934377 and accepting 934383 are IMO conflicting eachother

The kitinerary test failure just demonstrated why it was required. The ki18n API requires the translation catalogs: https://api.kde.org/frameworks/ki18n/html/classKCountry.html « This requires the iso-codes data files and translation catalogs to be available at runtime. » And a quick test with gnome-control-center with and without iso-codes-lang also shows differences in the "Region and Language" configuration dialog.
