Description Sudhir Khanger 2017-01-07 15:03:20 UTC

Description of problem:

Amarok comes pre-installed with Fedora Plasma Desktop. If I want to remove it it also removes some dependencies that are useful for other programs.

Can we remove Amarok's dependence on these packages?

Some obvious ones are ifuse, kio-upnp-ms, kio_mtp, and so on.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf remove amarok-libs
2.
3.

Actual results:


Expected results:$ sudo dnf remove amarok-libs
Dependencies resolved.

amarok sure does depend on those things, but it is not responsible for their removal.

You can thank dnf's clean_requirements_on_remove feature for that.  If you don't want the extra stuff removed set in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf:
clean_requirements_on_remove=False
