Description Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2023-02-22 21:32:48 UTC

Description of problem:
It's not possible to uninstall gnome-bluetooth (and thus bluez and bluez-obexd) due to hard dependency in gnome-shell and gnome-control-center. If a machine doesn't have a Bluetooth interface, there's no point in running obexd and having those packages installed. Both gnome-shell and gnome-control-center work just fine without gnome-bluetooth. Please make it a weak dependency (Recommends: instead of Requires:).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-bluetooth-1:42.5-1.fc37.x86_64
gnome-control-center-43.2-1.fc37.x86_64
gnome-shell-43.3-1.fc37.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -e bluez bluez-obexd gnome-bluetooth

Actual results:
error: Failed dependencies:
	gnome-bluetooth(x86-64) >= 1:42~alpha is needed by (installed) gnome-control-center-43.2-1.fc37.x86_64
	gnome-bluetooth(x86-64) >= 1:42.3 is needed by (installed) gnome-shell-43.3-1.fc37.x86_64

Expected results:
Successful removal.

Can you do PRs please?

Comment 2 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2023-02-27 23:29:52 UTC

Done: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gnome-control-center/pull-request/15 .

How do you handle backports to released branches? Or is this a "only in rawhide/branched" type of change in your book?

Comment 3 Pete Walter 2023-02-27 23:51:05 UTC

Thanks! I merged it to F38, but I would leave F37 alone at this point in the release cycle.
