Description of problem: Attempting to install KDE Connect on Fedora 24 Workstation with GNOME pulls in 153 packages. Other users on Fedora 23 Workstation report about 40MB in dependencies, compared to 382MB in my case. Among these pulled packages is KWin and Plasma Workspace. I'm not too familiar with KDE, but maybe KDE Connect has Plasma listed as a dependency? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 24 Workstation KDE Connect 0.9 How reproducible: Attempt to install KDE Connect on an updated system of Fedora 24 Steps to Reproduce: dnf install kde-connect Actual results: DNF attempts to install unneeded packages Expected results: DNF installs KDE Connect, and not the entire Plasma desktop. Additional info: Output of the command: Last metadata expiration check: 1:29:30 ago on Sat Apr 2 19:49:32 2016.

Actually, I think I can come up with something better, re-opening.
It seem that it's a duplicate of this one https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1324214 ? By the way, since DNF install the recommended packages by default, we still have to install way too much KDE dependencies on a default install.
Yes it is a dup at this point. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1324214 ***
