It's more about the situation in general, because I had something I could copy and paste at the time. An example of ludicrousy. Why does wanting to remove some add-on *often* want to take out a whole system that it shouldn't be touching? (Whichever release you are on.) This time it was a codec, but we see this kind of thing mentioned time and time again. You could see from my example list, that it's ludicrous that taking out a gstreamer codec would want to delete evolution, network manager, or the gnome desktop, even fonts. Clearly a font shouldn't depend on gstreamer. And since these gstreamer add-ons were installed after the system was installed, it clearly worked without them, and removing them should not take at things that didn't need them in the first place. But *what* is wrong? Are packages claiming they depend on things that they don't? Is a mention that something could be used (though not required) falsely attributed as a dependency? Does the DNF/RPM database have a cockeyed view of what depends on what? Why are they getting this so wrong? Because even if this particular (gstreamer) screwup doesn't exist in Fedora 40, the generic remove one thing and it destroys everything situation keeps cropping up again and again. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.118.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Apr 24 16:01:50 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
