[opensuse-security] Why is esound-daemon automatically installed on opensuse 12.3 when using zypper dup?
Dear all, Today I did a sudo zypper dup. I saw: sudo zypper dup root's password: Warning: You are about to do a distribution upgrade with all enabled repositories. Make sure these repositories are compatible before you continue. See 'man zypper' for more information about this command.

The following NEW package is going to be installed: esound-daemon
The following packages are going to be upgraded:
As I wondered why esound-daemon was installed I've checked out what package needs this package:
rpm -q --whatrequires esound-daemon no package requires esound-daemon
I've deleted this package via: rpm -evh esound-daemon Preparing... ################################# [100%] Cleaning up / removing... 1:esound-daemon-0.2.41-23.1.1 ################################# [100%]
without any problems.
I wonder why esound-daemon is automatically installed?
Without generating a solver testcase hard to say. ( zypper dup --debug-solver ) Likely a recommends or supplements or enhances somewhere. $ grep esound-daemon */*.spec esound/esound.spec:# esound-daemon as it also provides it gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good/gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good.spec:Supplements: packageand(%{name}:esound-daemon) libao/libao.spec:Supplements: packageand(esound-daemon:libao%{_SO_nr}) pulseaudio/pulseaudio.spec:Provides: esound-daemon = 0.2.41 pulseaudio/pulseaudio.spec:Obsoletes: esound-daemon < 0.2.41 Did you somehow block pulseaudio stuff?

On the contrary - it is very easy to say. If nothing requires it, but zypper throws it at you *nevertheless*, that is a pretty good sign that some Recommends: is in the game. On top of that, Recommends: are always processed over again, even if there is nothing to otherwise install, which is an odd thing to do. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-security+owner@opensuse.org
