The latest updates to the system want to install two Noto emoji fonts. That annoys me because I can't see ever wanting any emoji font, let alone a google one, let alone two of the bl**d things.
So YaST updater tells me that the fonts are 'recommended' by a 'security' update to chromium. WTF!
I never understood why a font has to be a requirement. Sometimes not only recommended but required.
Me neither. And I'm quite happy to see tofu instead of emojis.
So I would like to tell YaST not to install those recommendations, but I can't figure out how to do it.
In yast Package Manager: Dependencies menu/Install recommended packages: untick box. Don't know if this setting is saved but it's easy to change it again if not.
Thanks for this suggestion. It did the trick and does appear to be persistent. It would be nice if YaST was documented.
If you want it to make default, edit this file:
/etc/zypp/zypp.conf
and change line:
# solver.onlyRequires = false
to
solver.onlyRequires = true
Thanks to you and to Felix for this suggestion. It seems not to be necessary to make this change but I'll keep it in mind. Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
