Description Dick Gevers 2011-02-19 19:02:35 CET

Description of problem:

Install from the dvd and choose only 'GNOME'. The package detail shows, however, that a lot of KDE4 libraries are installed. This appears to be quite superfluous.

Comment 1 Ahmad Samir 2011-02-25 00:43:49 CET

Please attach /root/drakx/report.bug.gz from the installed system.

Also if you could attach a list of the kded libs you mentioned that would be great.

Comment 4 Ahmad Samir 2011-02-25 04:39:22 CET

On IRC blino said it's related to the polkit-agent requires:
$ urpmf --provides polkit-agent | grep -v lib
polkit-gnome:polkit-agent
polkit-kde-agent-1:polkit-agent

hopefully should be fixed soon.

Comment 6 Ahmad Samir 2011-03-04 02:50:00 CET

Actually it's an installer bug, in how the deps are getting computed; IIUC.

(Or it's a bug in urpmi?).

Component: RPM Packages => Installation

Comment 7 Kristoffer Grundström 2011-03-04 10:10:11 CET

I'd say Installer.

Comment 8 Thierry Vignaud 2011-03-04 10:42:02 CET

I'd like to see hard evidences first.
What's more, the Installer just uses urpmi...

just runs something like this:
mkdir mychroot
urpmi.addmedia --urpmi-root mychroot
urpmi --urpmi-root mychroot --debug -v basesystem task-gnome 2>&1|tee LOG.t-g

and see what brings kde...
My bet is some stupid suggest loop somewhere

Comment 9 Ahmad Samir 2011-03-05 19:59:19 CET

Not a suggests; two packages provide polkit-agent, see comment#4.

The proof is in the log:
* packageCallbackChoices: default choice ('polkit-kde-agent-1') from polkit-kde-agent-1,polkit-gnome for polkit-agent

* trans: scheduling update of polkit-kde-agent-1-0.99.0-1.mga1.x86_64 (id=1069, file=/tmp/image/media/core/polkit-kde-agent-1-0.99.0-1.mga1.x86_64.rpm)

the installer picked polkit-kde-agent although this is the GNOME install.

Comment 10 Thierry Vignaud 2011-03-06 22:09:14 CET

We could alter /etc/urpmi/prefer.vendor.list but that's not a proper fix.
I think some core package in both GNOME & KDE should pick the proper one.

Or defaulting to polkit-gnome in /etc/urpmi/prefer.vendor.list and having kdebase requiring polkit-kde-agent. That might do it

Comment 11 John Balcaen 2011-03-07 00:00:13 CET

Maybe we can try the last option for the next iso ?
I'm adding polkit-kde-agent as a Require on kdebase for the moment.

This patches fixes it.
I cannot commit it right now.
I may be able to do around 13h or around 19h (Paris TMZ) so if someone wants to commits it and submit meta-task...
