It's libreoffice-base that requires postgresql-jdbc (coming from RH).
Does base works ok w/o it?
If yes we could change that requires in a suggests

In my tests, this only pulls postgresql-jdbc, no other deps.

Resolution: (none) => INVALID

Comment 5 Guillaume Rousse 2015-02-02 22:37:10 CET

You'll still have to explain me why a java driver for postgresql is mandatory when I'm only interested in running oowriter.

Comment 6 Thierry Vignaud 2015-02-03 06:27:42 CET

If you want to save 550kb of disk space, then uninstall libreoffice-base.
You understand it's not needed for writer, do you?

Comment 7 Guillaume Rousse 2015-02-03 11:30:25 CET

I don't care about disk space, I care about correctness of automatic dependencies. Especially when they are relatively invasive, such as java ones.
