No, the dependency is a weak one via Recommends so dnf will normally install it but you should be able to uninstall it if you do not need the dictionary check. And you can configure libpwquality to skip the dictionary check via setting dictcheck = 0 in /etc/security/pwquality.conf but we do not want that to be default. A weak dependency is fine, but then it shouldn't fail hard if it isn't installed, but gracefully fall back. Or something should pull it into mock/mkosi and similarly small environments as well.. Gracefully falling back would mean that incorrectly or inadvertently missing dictionary would get undetected. I do not want that. |
