The problem is that "libavahi.." requirs avahi the daemon.
And libavahi is linked into various gnome stuff (didnt check closely enough, but I guess gnome-vfs), so it is in turn required by nearly all of gnome.
In fact I didn't think to launch such a discussion when I first posted :-( As I just installed 11.1 to have a larger working space (I had 11.0 root on a 10Gb partition and took 20 Gb for 11.1), I could try to install nearly all the important desktops (kde3, kde4, gnome, xfce at least). 11Gb ! I also had to get a look at the daemons list, what I didn't had to do for years now. I noticed that some things could be enhanced: for example, I have no use of a braille daemon!! This example seems good because if ever a blind people trys to install openSUSE, having the braille daemon as default is a very good idea, as this user may be unable to activate it. What this shows is than: * avahi is not necessary to gnome to run (avahi is stopped and gnome works), at least basically * many more daemon are used on present time than before * disk space is critical. 10Gb was too much, it's a bare minimum now. * we should have a way to urge the user to scan his daemon list and choose what to keep. The later problem is than many daemon are cryptics: I often wondered what avahi was, but did only recently had the time to find the info. Even in YaST, the comment is often: xxx dameon: makes xxx run (that is no comment at all) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-eic8MSSfM http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1412160445 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
