Description of problem: xdg-desktop-portal has started to depend on flatpak-selinux and ostree-libs, with weak dependencies on flatpak and p11-kit-server. I am not sure if this is intended, or not. As someone that does not use flatpak, it is strange to have my DE depend on it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.7.2-2.fc32 Steps to Reproduce: 1. sudo dnf update xdg-desktop-portal Actual results: Last metadata expiration check: 0:09:36 ago on Sat 27 Jun 2020 11:30:34 PM EDT.

This appears to be fixed.
This popped up again with the update from xdg-desktop-portal-1.8.0-1.fc33.x86_64 to 1.8.1-1.fc33: Upgrading: xdg-desktop-portal x86_64 1.8.1-1.fc33 updates 354 k Installing dependencies: flatpak-selinux noarch 1.10.1-1.fc33 updates 23 k flatpak-session-helper x86_64 1.10.1-1.fc33 updates 79 k ostree-libs x86_64 2020.8-1.fc33 updates 427 k Installing weak dependencies: flatpak x86_64 1.10.1-1.fc33 updates 1.7 M p11-kit-server x86_64 0.23.22-2.fc33 updates 199 k xdg-desktop-portal-wlr x86_64 0.1.0-2.fc33 fedora 34 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================================================================================================================== Install 6 Packages Upgrade 1 Package Probably the same on F34.
Just in case someone needs this: dnf update xdg-desktop-portal --setopt=install_weak_deps=False does not pull in anything (not even the "dependencies") mentioned above. So, something is fishy about weak vs. strong. If you do this, you might want to install xdg-desktop-portal-wlr separately if you are on wayland. (It does not pull in flatpak stuff.)
xdg-desktop-portal has a Recomends on flatpak, so installing flatpak on upgrade with default settings would be expected.
(In reply to David King from comment #4) > xdg-desktop-portal has a Recomends on flatpak, so installing flatpak on > upgrade with default settings would be expected. This is BS on so many levels that it angers me: - It cannot be true because otherwise xdg-portal-desktop would have pulled in flatpak before. - It cannot be true because otherwise -setopt=install_weak_deps=False would not stop it from being pulled in. - It simply is not true: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/rawhide/f/xdg-desktop-portal.spec#_29 - If it were true it would be wrong to pull in flatpak as a hard dependency of gnome-shell (via xdg-desktop-portal). Fedora is about freedom of choice.
