Description of problem: On a headless server, I am now forced to installed a lot of gtk2 baggage due to grub's dependencies. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grub-0.97-13 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to do a minimal install for a headless server that's supposed to be a simple Internet firewall/proxy. 2. Try to remove all the baggage that gets loaded Actual results: [root@headache ~]# rpm -e gtk2 error: Failed dependencies: libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 is needed by (installed) gtk2-engines-2.10.2-2.fc7.i386 libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 is needed by (installed) gtk2-engines-2.10.2-2.fc7.i386 libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 is needed by (installed) gtk2-engines-2.10.2-2.fc7.i386 gtk2 >= 2.9.0 is needed by (installed) gtk2-engines-2.10.2-2.fc7.i386 [root@headache ~]# rpm -e gtk2-engines error: Failed dependencies: gtk2-engines >= 2.9.0 is needed by (installed) gnome-themes-2.18.0-1.fc7.noarch gtk2-engines >= 2.9.4-2 is needed by (installed) redhat-artwork-7.0.0-11.fc7.i386 [root@headache ~]# rpm -e gnome-themes redhat-artwork fedora-logos error: Failed dependencies: system-logos is needed by (installed) grub-0.97-13.i386 Expected results: I should not have to have the entire gnome/gtk2 stack installed, just because of grub. Somewhere along this chain of dependencies, things need to be refactored, a bit. Additional info:
Ommited a small step from cut-paste: The fedora-logos dependency is due to this: [root@headache ~]# rpm -e gnome-themes redhat-artwork error: Failed dependencies: redhat-artwork is needed by (installed) fedora-logos-6.0.98-3.fc7.noarch
