So the dependency seems to be still there...

Comment 5 Jan Grulich 2013-10-01 11:24:28 UTC
Hmm, it will be more difficult as I thought, because libmm-qt requires ModemManager as well and it doesn't make sense to install libmm-qt without ModemManager. Maybe Rex Deiter will have some idea.

Comment 6 Jan Grulich 2013-10-01 15:34:42 UTC
It looks it's not possible at least there is no simple solution for removing ModemManager as dependency. We discussed it with rdieter and there are no benefits from this change except saving ~1Mb of space.

Hi,

I can disable ModemManager without a problem, but can't remove it. This seems fine to me. So I think this issue is solved.

Thanks,

Martin Kho

Comment 14 Martin Kho 2013-11-26 11:47:46 UTC
Hi,

There is just one little annoyance when disabeling ModemManager. The logging get spammed with the following dbus messages:

Nov 26 12:41:27 localhost.localdomain dbus[338]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.ModemManager1' unit='dbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.service'
Nov 26 12:41:27 localhost.localdomain dbus[338]: [system] Activation via systemd failed for unit 'dbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.service': Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.service failed to load: No such file or directory.
