[zypp-devel] kernel-default dependencies
Hello, When doing a dependency resolution for kernel-default (just kernel-default, nothing else) on 10.3 using the satsolver, the decision is to install 60 packages or so, including bundle-lang-common-en, which doesn't look like a requirement by any package. This occurs both with a solv file my code built, and the one using the libzypp testsuite. Am I doing something wrong? That seems like quite a lot of dependencies.

yeah, the satsolver lacks an explain mode. With 11.0 I even have 70 packages installed :) For 11.0 at least bundle-lang-common-en is installed to provide these: util-linux-lang, cpio-lang, coreutils-lang Which is a wise decision because coreutils-lang alone is 1MB, while bundle-lang-common-en is 119K So which of the other 59 packages do you think is not necessary? Remember that is the initial list of dependencies of kernel-default: coreutils awk module-init-tools perl-Bootloader mkinitrd Greetings, Stephan -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org

Oh, I don't think any are unnecessary; they all look quite reasonable. However, the number of dependencies surprised both me and the person who filed a bug against my sat-solver based resolver :-) Thanks for clearing that up, Matt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org

How can i view/generate this dependency list for kernel-default ? Its an interesting point if you want create small target images. Then every single dependency counts ;) ;).

You can install with zypper into directories.
zypper --root /tmp/dir sa

That seems like quite a lot of dependencies.
Thanks, Matt
