I'm trying to do a 'zypper dup' on a headless server, but it wants to install a load of unnecessary packages. Many of them are gtk stuff, but also cryptsetup, mdadm, PackageKit and fuse.
you don't say, but suggest: zypper -v --no-r --no-allow-v dup
The upgrade would be from the currently running 20190222 to 20190301, which upgrades the schemes 'base', 'basesystem' and 'minimal_base'.
How can I find out what package is trying to pull in these new dependencies?
try first the above and it may solve itself
if you still get unwanted pkgs, try adding specific locks
--no-recommends is just a temporary fix, those packages will still get pulled in the next time or when using 'zypper install-new-recommends'. I would add 'specific locks' if I actually knew what other package wants to install e.g. adwaita-icon-theme. regards
