Description Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2023-02-22 21:31:37 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 a PR for gnome-shell too? https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gnome-control-center/c/877cc8bb616e91b25418e5fd7642b880c9cdd5c1?branch=rawhide already landed in gnome-control-center.
