Description of problem: When installing kdebase via yum, the following packages get pulled in: lm_sensors kdebase xorg-x11-xdm Obviously kdelibs is correct, but requiring xdm and lm_sensors doesn't make much sense to me - I haven't seen another distro do that. Can they be suggested, rather than depended on? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.3.0-8.i386
er, sadly, rpm doesn't have suggests... this report might be futile.
xorg-x11-xdm is because kdm requires some files from there, IIRC. It requires libsensors.so.3, ergo, lm_sensors. (The package require: is probably superfluous with the library require:, though)
xorg-x11-xdm just include the config files which KDM/XDM share them. And it's our intention. You haven't seen another distro do that, because they add the config files in kdebase. yes, the "require: lm_sensors" is superfluous and should be removed.
