And just seconds after I posted the last command the behavior of "zypper in --recommends smb4k" changed and it now knows about smb4k-lang. :-(
No. I told you, if you install a _new_ package, it will drag the recommended deps in as well (by default - --recommends is not needed, if you don't have zypp.conf or zypper.conf configured otherwise).
Here is another, and I promise unedited :-), example. See how the first call of "z in --recommends gimp" omits gimp-help-browser while the second includes it:
Yup, that's weird. here's what happend:
linux-8zih:~ # z rm gimp-help-browser
* you explicitely removed gimp-help-browser- zypp remembered that you do not want it.
linux-8zih:~ # z in --recommends gimp
* now, gimp recommends gimp-help-browser, but zypp will not annoy you with installing gimp-help-browser, 'cause you explicitly told it to get rid of it.
linux-8zih:~ # z in gimp
The following NEW package is going to be installed: gimp
Either you have solver.onlyRequires = true in your zypp.conf, or this is a bug.
linux-8zih:~ # z in --recommends gimp
The following NEW packages are going to be installed: gimp gimp-help-browser gimp-plugins-python inkscape-extensions-gimp xsane new packages to install.
Alright, this is indeed weird, it should not install gimp-help-browser here, since you explicitly removed it before. Michael (ma), a bug in soft locks handling?
