I filed a bug bnc#833498 , but in my case there were no -doc packages

As maintainer of TeXLive I had been told that asymptote requires freeglut development environment to be fully usable. Guess: this is required to link output of asymptote with freeglut library. -> closed this bug as WONTFIX Werner -- "Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool." -- Edward Burr

As an end user "zypper rm texlive-asymptote" and all is good. Won't install a package that needs too much devel packages.

Just removing the *-devel* packages downgrades textlive-asymptote, no need to remove it. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I just uninstalled ALL of texlive and am waiting for the other shoe to drop, but so far I seem to use nothing that requires it. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

As maintainer of TeXLive I had been told that asymptote requires freeglut development environment to be fully usable. Guess: this is required to link output of asymptote with freeglut library.

And what about the -doc packages? It seems that the packages now recommend the corresponding -doc. So, is there a possibility to prevent the installation of texlive-*-doc without setting solver.onlyRequires = true in zypp.conf?

Found it for zypper (command line option --no-recommends), but I have not found the equivalent one in YaST. Suggestions?

What about Options -> "Ignore Recommended Packages for Already Installed Packages"? Regards, Werner -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

- freeglut-devel is needed by (installed) texlive-asymptote-2012.67.2.21svn29349-4.6.1.noarch - texlive-asymptote >= 2012 is needed by (installed) texlive-collection-binextra-2012.67.svn25648-4.5.1.noarch - texlive-collection-binextra >= 2012 is needed by (installed) texlive-scheme-medium-2012.67.svn18615-4.5.1.noarch After removing those three packages, most of the other -devel packages could be deinstalled without moaning from rpm. Except for xorg-x11-proto-devel is needed by (installed) font-util-1.3.0-4.1.1.x86_64 so that I also removed font-util. I consider using http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html rather than the texlive packages from openSUSE, especially when they bring along dozens of unnecessary devel packages with their patches.
