Many thanks to all those who commented, despite my rant. I have filed bug report 1002454 https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1002454 which is narrowly focussed. It does not affect GNOME, KDE or other desktops.
I've never understood the looseness of the dependency policy of S.u.S.E./SUSE/openSUSE. While it may not "hurt" to have a lot of unneeded packages installed by default it does consume a lot of unnecessary bandwidth when updating and creates a larger attack surface if it's there and running for no reason/unneeded but has a vulnerability...... Now if we could just get a clean 64bit install. I just weeded out 74 32bit packages on my T60p's 13.2 x64 install last night that I had never noticed were installed and definally unneeded. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
