Description Thanos Apostolou 2019-08-18 15:46:02 UTC
Description of problem:
I want to keep gtkwave installed, but remove gedit at the same time. At this moment gtkwave is a hard dependency even though it's only need for editing files through gtkwave which isn't really important feature.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gtkwave 3.3.101-2

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install gtkwave
2. Try to remove gedit without removing gtkwave

Actual results:
gtkwave gets removed when gedit is removed.

Expected results:
Gtkwave should install gedit when it gets installed, but not getting removed when gedit is removed.

Additional info:
I'm just a Fedora user but I've read the Fedora packaging guidelines and I think that the rpm package should have gedit as "Recommends: instead of "Requires:". I've done it myself with a custom package and gtkwave is functioning okay without gedit installed (except for the editing options).
