Description of problem: Do I have to soon remove whole gnome to not use extremely memory hungry packages like PackageKit ? rpm -e gnome-packagekit-0.1.9-3.fc9.x86_64 error: Failed dependencies: /usr/bin/system-install-packages is needed by (installed) system-config-printer-0.7.82.1-2.fc9.x86_64 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-printer-0.7.82.1-2.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: No dependency on a package which eats 150MB and does nothing really useful most of the time... Additional info:
system-config-printer needs to be able to install missing drivers, one way or another. If PackageKit pulls in more than it needs to, or uses more memory than it needs to, that is a PackageKit problem. Changing component and reassigning.
PackageKit doesn't depend on gnome, but gnome-packagekit does. If you want to remove gnome-packagekit, i guess you'll have to install a package that also provides that file or remove system-config-printer. Also, how exactly do you think PackageKit uses too much memory? It's only loaded when needed and then quits when idle...
I don't think there is a bug that needs to be fixed here.
