Description Juergen Harms 2012-02-21 21:14:10 CET

My system contains the packages thai-data and libthai0 which I do not use / need.
libthai0 is a require of libpango1.0_0-modules.

These packages are rather small and do not harm, but that should be tidied some time (same thing already in Mageia 1)

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

Still valid: the following modules have come out of my clean Mageia 2 install:

thai-data-0.1.14-1.mga1
libthai0-0.1.14-1.mga1

Stupid question as I'm looking at a fix proposed by William Murphy:
libthai, as it's name indicates, is necessary for the thai language. There is no way to have a Requires depending on the locales (especially since locales can be installed afterwards), hence it's there.
So I'm wondering if this is actually a bug.

Pragmatic reply:

1. on my Mageia 3 system - now a 64-bit system - I still get (not having asked for the thai modules, and not having a thai locale)
  <harms@ltjuergen ~> rpm -qa | grep thai
  thai-data-0.1.18-2.mga3
  lib64thai0-0.1.18-2.mga3

2. urpme thai-data (avoiding to ask for the library module) would eliminate - on my system - 502 packages

3. rpm --requires -q lib64pango1.0_0-modules (I switched to 64-bits since filing the bug) gives
lib64pango1.0_0 = 1.32.5
/bin/sh
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
libc.so.6()(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4)(64bit)
libfreetype.so.6()(64bit)
libglib-2.0.so.0()(64bit)
libgmodule-2.0.so.0()(64bit)
libgobject-2.0.so.0()(64bit)
libharfbuzz.so.0()(64bit)
libpango-1.0.so.0()(64bit)
libpangoft2-1.0.so.0()(64bit)
libpthread.so.0()(64bit)
libthai.so.0()(64bit)
rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1
 
See the last line but one - and, thanks for looking at such an oldy!

Sorry, I was not clear.
It seems to me that the requires on libthai exists to support the Thai language. There is no other mechanism to do that, we can't have a requires depend on a locale.
So basically, either we remove the requires and tell thai-speaking people that Mageia does not support their language, or we keep it as it is, even if it means the library is installed on everyone's machine.

I understand - then really it is design and not a bug - closing.
