Thank you for chiming in.
, but the C preprocessor (CPP) is indeed required by xrdb (that's an option in xrdb, see "-cpp" in man xrdb) and xrdb itself is required by GDM: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gdm/blob/rawhide/f/gdm.spec#_80 GDM uses xrdb from its data/Init.in and data/Xsession.in: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/blob/main/data/Xsession.in#L118-129 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/blob/main/data/Init.in#L31-34 Please note that these commands all use "xrdb -nocpp" so cpp is not actually used there, but the package dependencies still pull it of course.xrdb does not hard-depend on cpp, only recommends it: $ rpm -qR xrdb |grep cpp $ rpm -q --recommends xrdb cpp $
Right, that is why I have not noticed there actually is some (weak) dependency installed on my system removing the CPP package.
Nevertheless, I still wonder, should the cpp be installed by default? Can we exclude it somehow? Probably in kickstart. On my previous system I have removed it probably years ago and I am not aware of any issue. (With exception of GDM) does anybody using `xrdb` for anything where the CPP is really needed?
