"new" packages: pipewire-pulseaudio, pulseaudio-setup, pulseaudio-utils
In TW, Slowroll and 15.6, maybe in 15.5 too, these three packages are being added, if not already installed, along with ordinary updates, not as a consequence of "fully" upgrading via zypper dup. This is in spite of 'solver.onlyRequires = true' in zypp.conf. Is anyone aware of what is demanding their installation? Or, what rpm or zypper search would report the cause? When I read through the rpm man page, I'm usually flummoxed by the descriptions of what things like --whatrequires, --whatrecommends, --whatsuggests, --requires and not often get a hoped for response I can logically understand. e.g.: # rpm -q --whatrequires pipewire-pulseaudio no package requires pipewire-pulseaudio # rpm -q --whatrecommands pipewire-pulseaudio wireplumber-audio # rpm -q --whatsuggests pipewire-pulseaudio patterns-base-base # rpm -q --whatrequires pulseaudio-setup no package requires pulseaudio-setup # rpm -q --whatrequires pulseaudio-utils no package requires pulseaudio-utils Why isn't solver.onlyRequires = true preventing the three packages from being installed? Is 'solver.onlyRequires = true' broken? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

Thanks for reply. I don't see how it answers about the subject packages though. All I see is mutual dependencies among the three, nothing that would have triggered their installation: # zypper search --requires-pkg pipewire-pulseaudio Loading repository data...
