Description Nils 2012-01-17 22:54:06 UTC
Description of problem:

This is a request to remove the wine-pulseaudio dependency, as it's probably not considered as a bug.

The newly added wine-pulseaudio dependency re-installs a previously removed pulseaudio automatically when using yum. This makes it impossible to keep a clean Fedora installation without pulseaudio when using wine. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.3.33-1.fc15


How reproducible:
Always when updating wine.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Uninstall pulseaudio:
# yum erase pulseaudio
2. Update wine:
# yum update wine

  
Actual results:
Requires: wine-pulseaudio -> pulseaudio installation.


Expected results:
wine getting updated without the wine-pulseaudio dependency.


Additional info:

The fact of running KDE, Phonon, ALSA and DMix might not be an official option but in some cases (mine for example) it might be preferable doing this when having a hard time getting PA to work.

I would like to second this request. I use KDE and DMix as well. I'm now running wine from a tarball as opposed to the repo version.

Comment 2 Andreas Bierfert 2012-01-18 21:23:52 UTC
wine is a meta package (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Wine) which is attuned for the standard distribution. If you have a different usecase feel free to remove the wine meta package and remove packages as you see fit. If you remove wine-pulseaudio the meta package will be removed as well.

Thanks a lot. I didn't know.
