[opensuse-kde3] zypper up - nothing provides pdftools_any needed by kdegraphics3-pdf-3.5.10-lp150.156.1 ??
All,
Running zypper up tonight, kdegraphics3-pdf would not update due to the error:
Problem: nothing provides pdftools_any needed by kdegraphics3-pdf-3.5.10-lp150.156.1.x86_64 Solution 1: do not install kdegraphics3-pdf-3.5.10-lp150.156.1.x86_64 Solution 2: break kdegraphics3-pdf-3.5.10-lp150.156.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies
I have 3.5.10-lp150.155.1 installed and it is working fine. Did something change? (or did I fix something/build .155.1 and forget what I did?)
No reason for the pdftools_any dependency. Can the .spec just be updated?

Didn't we go through this here last year? I've been choosing to break too long to remember.

Yes we did, and the bottom line is the dependency is provided by:
texlive-pdftools
which to install pulls in another 100 texlive files and adds another 180 Megabytes of unneeded cruft. We will need to see what functionality texlive-pdftools actually provides to kpdf and either write a small pdftools package to provide that dependency (or if it is small enough a patch) and then remove the pdftools dependency from the .spec file.
I too have just chosen the break option on install and I haven't seen any problems at all -- so I have no clue from a usage standpoint what pdftools adds to kpdf, if anything at present.
The long and short of it is it would be nice to get this dependency cleaned up. It's harmless, but worth fixing.
