A user complains about openSUSE behaviour, I merely say that I've seen it, and *I* am in the wrong?
This is not Windows. It is Linux. It's my box; I'm the boss. If I uninstall something, even if it is something necessary, it should get uninstalled and stay uninstalled.
To behave otherwise is un-Unix-like, I submit.
LOL! I was going to say that, but I went instead to climb a mountain. I didn't get far, I aborted, and went to see a movie instead. Something about a Glass or something :-)
Yes, I was going to say exactly that, that this mis-feature makes openSUSE behaviour similar to Windows in the eyes of people. If I uninstall something, I want it out; that the system reinstalls it is intolerable. But hey, I'm a convinced openSUSE user, so I find a workaround: taboo what I remove, and don't complain too much ;-)
ISTR this is how I came to discover and apply solver.onlyRequires = true many moons ago. I am happy the zypper locks system is so much easier and logical to use than methods employed by the likes of apt & dnf. Still there's room for improvement. Hard requires for particular fonts because of project theming is out of place. Fonts are a sensitive subject. One man's spice is another's poison. Users deserve full power to say which fonts will not be used without repeatedly jumping through hoops to get there. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
