Description Chris Denice 2014-06-18 16:27:20 CEST
Hi Shlomif,

urpme avahi
Remove 886 packages? (y/N)

euu N :)

It seems that "avahi" package (containing only services, binary etc...) is required by the whole distro. I guess it is triggered by


%package -n %{lib_client_name}
Group: System/Libraries
Summary: Library for avahi-client
Requires: %{name} >= %{version} <-------------------------


because libavahi-client is indeed required by many packages as it should. However, this dependence seems superfluous and annoying for small systems that does not need avahi-deamon et al.

I did not touch the spec in case of more damaging breakage, but please have a look (or let me know if it is safe to remove that Requires only)

Cheers,
chris.

PS: that concerns MGA4 TOO
