For those who are more adept with zypper than I am - I wanted to add "apcupsd" to a newly installed 13.2 xen-host: --------------- # zypper in --no-recommends apcupsd Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... The following 8 NEW packages are going to be installed: apcupsd fontconfig libgd3 libjbig2 libjpeg8 libtiff5 libvpx1 libXpm4 8 new packages to install. Overall download size: 1.6 MiB. Already cached: 0 B After the operation, additional 5.6 MiB will be used. Continue? [y/n/? shows all options] (y): n ----------- I don't really see a need for all this graphics stuff, hence my feeble attempt with "-no-recommends". Looking at "--requires" output for apcupsd, it doesn't require any of it. I tried the same installation on a different system: # zypper in --no-recommends apcupsd Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... The following 6 NEW packages are going to be installed: apcupsd fontconfig libXpm4 libfreetype6 libgd3 libvpx1 Although not head-less, this box is also text-mode only etc., so no need for any graphics stuff. zypper se --requires fontconfig (nothing that is installed) zypper se --requires libXpm (nothing that is installed) zypper se --requires libfreetype (nothing that is installed) zypper se --requires libgd3 (nothing that is installed) zypper se --requires libvpx (nothing that is installed) So, why does trying to install apcupsd drag along all of this "fontconfig libgd3 libjbig2 libjpeg8 libtiff5 libvpx1 libXpm4" ? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
