Last night I did a minimal TW install that verified Carlos is indeed correct, as far as he went.
I have yet to find any evidence that deselecting install recommended packages during installation survives the installation process. The newly installed /etc/zypp/zypp.conf and zypper.conf files are exactly the same as those contained in the rpms they come from. So for the deselection to remain as local policy, solver.onlyRequires = true is apparently still needed.
Both my zypp.conf and zypper.conf seem to be original. Certainly they don't have solver.onlyRequires = true But YaST shows Install recommended packages unchecked. So I think there may be some other configuration file involved (whatever YaST uses to persist settings).
What /etc/sysconfig/yast2 PKGMGR_RECOMMENDED= setting do you have? Ambiguous evidence found on system where I had deselected recommended during TW installation: /etc/sysconfig/yast2 contained: ## Type: list(yes,no) ## Default: "yes" # # Install also the weak, recommended, dependencies. PKGMGR_RECOMMENDED="yes" /etc/zypp/zypper.conf (applicable only to zypper, while NAICT zypp.conf is supposed to apply to all libzypp users) contains: installRecommends = no I accidentally destroyed the evidence whether the installer made this change by taking a shortcut WRT changing useColors to never, copying zypper.conf from a previous TW installation where I'm pretty sure I had made the change to no manually. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
