gnome-session has too many dependencies
Last modified: 2014-06-03 08:36:51 EDT
Please describe the problem: See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=525899 I am running network server (CentOS 5.1) that doesn't need sound, cd burning or printing. When I uninstalled the applications that I do not required, it also removed gnome-session (I have not realized that it is removing it). Once I installed back gnome-session it showed me the following list of dependencies ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: gnome-session i386 2.16.0-6.el5.centos base 409 k Installing for dependencies: cdrdao i386 1.2.1-2 base 441 k cdrecord i386 9:2.01-10 base 590 k cups i386 1:1.2.4-11.14.el5_1.6 updates 2.7 M dvd+rw-tools i386 7.0-0.el5.3 base 114 k ghostscript i386 8.15.2-9.1.el5_1.1 updates 5.9 M ghostscript-fonts noarch 5.50-13.1.1 base 801 k gnome-media i386 2.16.1-3.el5 base 2.4 M gnome-volume-manager i386 2.15.0-4.el5 base 404 k gthumb i386 2.7.8-5.el5 base 1.9 M libgnomecups i386 0.2.2-8 base 73 k libgnomeprint22 i386 2.12.1-9.el5 base 396 k libgnomeprintui22 i386 2.12.1-6 base 318 k mkisofs i386 9:2.01-10 base 596 k nautilus-cd-burner i386 2.16.0-7.el5 base 482 k paps i386 0.6.6-17.el5 base 31 k I am not sure if there is a way to fix this but I believe I should be able to use my computer via Gnome GUI without having all these packages that I do not require installed. Steps to reproduce: 1. yum install gnome-session 2. see list of dependencies, it includes software for sound, printing and cd burning which shouldn't be required 3. Actual results: Unnecessary packages are installed that cannot be removed Expected results: I should be able to use Gnome without having to install packages for printing, sound, or cd burning since I am using Gnome to access and manage my network server. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: This was tested on CentOS 5.1 with Gnome 2.16
