Description Vít Ondruch 2014-07-28 10:24:07 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1121646 +++

Description of problem:
Installing git pulls in several packages, including systemd for example:

Nainstalováno:

Why would git need systemd is not obvious for me. Please reduce the dependencies.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -q git
git-2.0.1-1.fc22.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. $ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --install git
2.
3.

Actual results:
Myriad of dependencies is installed.

Expected results:
Only relevant dependencies are installed (and systemd should not be amongst them IMO)

Additional info:

Git requires rsync, which seems to pull in systemd as well :/

--- Additional comment from Vít Ondruch on 2014-07-21 16:00:15 CEST ---

Come on, if this is problem or RSync, then it should be reassigned to RSync. If it is problem of git as well as RSync, then please fix the issue on your side and pursue the same fix for RSync.

I don't mind opening bug for RSync, but it seems you know better about this dependency.

Thank you.

--- Additional comment from Ondrej Oprala on 2014-07-22 14:28:19 CEST ---

Unfortunately Rsync is not the only dependency that pulls in systemd. There's libcurl -> nss -> nss-sysinit -> coreutils -> util-linux -> systemd as well (and I absolutely cannot kick out libcurl :) ).

Now, rsync requires systemd-units because of rsyncd.{socket,service} files it installs.

Removing systemd as a dependency of util-linux however, would be a bit more difficult.

The default installation of git along with it's necessary subpackages doesn't require systemd directly, only the "standalone" git-daemon package does that.

Comment 1 Paul Howarth 2014-07-28 10:44:02 UTC

curl isn't going to stop depending on nss, so if you want it to stop pulling in systemd as a dependency, that link needs to be broken further down the chain, maybe at nss-sysinit -> coreutils or util-linux -> systemd.

Not curl's issue anyway. Please reassign.

Comment 2 Kamil Dudka 2014-07-28 11:11:51 UTC

From the yum output you posted above, it is clear that libcurl had been already installed before you tried to install git.  libcurl is actually required for yum to run ;-)  So libcurl could hardly be the reason for systemd being pulled in the list of dependencies.

Please consider using English locales next time if you intend to use the output in a bug report (unless the bug in question is locale-specific).

Comment 3 Vít Ondruch 2014-07-28 11:49:06 UTC

This is of course output of mock, you can achieve the same if you use yum with --installroot parameter. In such case, you don't have yum installed, while you want to install libcurl.

Thanks. Re-assigning to nss then. Will see what they can do about.

Comment 5 Vít Ondruch 2014-07-28 12:19:44 UTC

Actually, I am closing this branch, since util-linux depends on systemd-libs, which is already in minimal build root. I'll focus on the rsync branch and the systemd package. Sorry for the noise.

Comment 6 Kamil Dudka 2014-07-28 12:38:31 UTC

mock --init already installs libcurl.
