I'd love to know why this is the case. Still way too many stupid dependencies in openSUSE. It was getting better, but this is just stupid. I don't use pulseaudio, nor want to. Just like trying to remove avahi. Unable to without removing half of my system. Does anyone know who's in charge of actually accepting the dependencies that seem to be happening? Because I don't think they are actually looking at them.
You can remove pulseaudio, but you have to leave the library that the rest of the system needs to use pulseaudio when/if you want it. There is no way around that, and you can not remove that dependency. Remove the rest, just not that one. Same goes for avahi. If you want any distributor to remove that last dependency, they have to provide to complete set of rpms, one with, the other without pulsaudio. That's impossible. Or you have to convince all the devs for all packages involved to build a plugin system for all their things (meaning all kde). As that is not possible, just remove most of pulseaudio, while leaving the linked-to library. That small one can not be removed. But don't worry, that library alone does not provide pulseaudio, it is efectively removed for allp practical purposes. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkm3JqgACgkQtTMYHG2NR9UaSgCfRGoX1KMv4ucz68kp32gPcyzM SsEAn0K4cmPfNB16nwlu6bWc4T5oo3j7 =KIOA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
