Comment 1 James Kerr 2013-08-02 20:14:15 CEST

task-kde4-minimal is a meta package which installs a minimal set of KDE4 packages. If you remove one of those packages, then the task package is no longer "installed". Removing a task package does not remove any other package. You can remove gwenview (and task-kde4-minimal) without any effect on the rest of KDE.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => INVALID

Comment 2 Bicycle RepairMan 2013-08-02 22:14:44 CEST

I understand that, but it doesn't explain why Gwenview is part of the minimal-package in the first place. "Minimal" as I understand it, means "the least possible packages". Gwenview is by no means neccessary to run Mageia, it isn't even particularly useful. So why exactly is it part of task-kde4-minimal?
My request was about exactly that: remove the dependency, since there is no reason for Gwenview to be part of the minimal-package!

Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED
Resolution: INVALID => (none)

Comment 3 John Balcaen 2013-08-17 13:20:43 CEST

We simply provides a default image viewer for kde & we consider it as part of a kde minimal install.
We won't change it for mga3 (already release) however i'm open for discussion (& kde team too i guess :p ) for what we need to put or remove from the minimal kde installation on mageia.

Regards,

P.S: you can remove it with a --no-deps in case you really want to remove it while keeping the task-minimal installed.
Please note that you should not have any issues while removing it if you do not use the --auto-orphans option of urpmi

Mageia 3 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status 4 months ago.
http://blog.mageia.org/en/2014/11/26/lets-say-goodbye-to-mageia-3/ 

Mageia 3 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
