I'm not using KDE4. But I have some Python programs that use QT4. They will eventually be updated. But until then, on systems where QT4 is already installed, removing QT4 seems strict. No problem that it goes away in the build system and can no longer be installed. But removing it from installed systems may be a surprise to many.

Yes, that's one drawback of the way TW handles things, I've been bitten by that several times already. Packages that no longer are in the repo, and are not requested by any other package, get removed.

Well if nothing requires it, you should not notice it going again. Except when that "requires" is a factual-level requires that has failed to be carried over to a package-level requires by some maintainer in the software chain. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
