Description of problem: When installing the last version of libreoffice in Cauldron, it installs tracker even if you are not using GNOME. The problems come from Gtk4. Because gtk4.0 has lib64gtk4_1 as dependency, which needs lib64tracker3.0_0 and finally tracker. This will happen with all Gtk4 software. However, for KDE users, tracker is redundant with baloo. Moreover, if both tracker and baloo creates their database it will be a lack of space and a huge consumption of resources for indexation. I don't know if tracker is a mandatory dependency for Gtk4. If yes, it will be a mess on KDE systems. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libreoffice-7.4.0.3-1, gtk4.0-4.7.2-2, How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update libreoffice to 7.4.0 and check new dependencies.

Not for me, I use Plasma and did disable baloo at some time but have never disabled tracker and wasn't even aware it is installed, but it is: $ rpm -qa | grep tracker tracker-miners-3.3.1-3.mga9 tracker-3.3.3-1.mga9 lib64tracker3.0_0-3.3.3-1.mga9 lib64tracker-gir3.0-3.3.3-1.mga9 # systemctl -a | grep tracker doesn't find any of the tracker* services # journalctl -b | grep tracker doesn't mention anything about a tracker service, either.

It seems not, but I'll assign to the gtk4.0 & libreoffice maintainer (one and the same person) > > Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): > libreoffice-7.4.0.3-1, gtk4.0-4.7.2-2, >

Ok. I didn't update when I saw tracker as a new package. But if tracker is not activated, it's minor. Even if I think some user will be surprised to have a non asked program named tracker.
It's not completely true that there're no systemd services shipped with tracker. $ systemctl -a --user | grep tracker tracker-miner-fs-3.service loaded active running Tracker file system data miner tracker-miner-fs-control-3.service loaded active running Tracker Filesystem Indexing Proxy
