Description Georges Eckenschwiller 2016-11-26 10:48:24 CET
Description of problem:
For a minimal installation (without an X server or only with Qt, for example) packages such as adwaita-icon -theme, gtk + 2 and gtk + 3, their dependencies are installed.
This seems to come from the mate-polkit preference, rather than polkit-agent-none.
Is mate-polkit really essential?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
meta-task-6-0.23
Comment 1 David Walser 2016-11-27 02:32:10 CET
Our minimal installation *with* X includes IceWM which does need mate-polkit.  We don't currently support conditional preferences for meeting virtual requirements such that we could also have it prefer polkit-agent-none when you don't have X.  I think the real key here is to not install anything that requires a polkit-agent (like drakconf) in your minimal installation.

Thanks David
In fact, I choose a custom installation without X server, without recommended and without basic doc.
In the 'summary' step, I configure the graphics card. This installs the X server,  without IceWM-light.
But I still have mate-polkit and adwaite-icon-theme. I think this comes from the file prefer.vendor.list
Comment 3 David Walser 2016-11-28 14:55:25 CET
Yes, mate-polkit must be the preferred polkit-agent in prefer.vendor.list.  We don't have a way to have it do something different on non-X installs.  I'm guessing you did include the "Configuration tools" category in your installation.
Comment 4 Georges Eckenschwiller 2016-11-29 08:58:42 CET
thank you David
So I'll get around the problem by deleting adwaita-icon-theme.
I close the report
