Hi,
to have a wider choice of media players I installed deepin-movie and
deepin-music a long time ago, some dependencies were required, hence I
had the following Deepin related packages installed:
deepin-desktop-base
deepin-movie
deepin-music
deepin-qt-dbus-factory
deepin-qt5integration
deepin-qt5platform-plugins
dtkgui
dtkwidget
An obsolete package I already removed earlier was originally also
installed:
deepin-wayland
IMO this is a reasonable amount of dependencies.
When I tried to upgrade my Arch install today, by running
sudo pacman -Syu
this happens:
:: There are 2 providers available for DEEPIN-ANYTHING-MODULE:
:: Repository extra
1) deepin-anything-arch 2) deepin-anything-dkms
Media players require a kernel module?
So I'm going to pretend that I'm okay with that.
This is what happens [1]. Those two media player that were installed a
long time ago together with the required dependencies now pull in a
complete desktop environment including a file-manager, wallpapers etc..
It seems a bit dubious to me, hence I removed the Deepin stuff from my
machine.
Am I being overly suspicious? I'm interested in opinions.
Regards,
Ralf
