Hello When uninstall pulseaudio (with mageia 3 beta 3 or back): #urpme pulseaudio Automaticly, with dependencies, gnome also is uninstall! It is a choice of packaging man, but is a real probleme. I want test other sound system, and i don't want pulse audio. It is two differents project. I understand the technic problem, after uninstall pulseaudio. But it's the user's choice, and it could not imposing by mageia dependencies! I hate this choice. my opinion! Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Target Milestone: --- => Mageia 3
About which dependency are you talking? I didn't find any direct dependency on pulseaudio from Gnome.

I have not search dependency in construction of rpm. But when uninstall pulseaudio, gnome3 is uninstall too. Two test, in two machine confirm this. I have suppose, a choice by man packaging rpm, after discussion in French Mageia Forum(MLO). With your answer, It's maybe a bad supposition. If you don't see direct dependency, may be a bug? I have not competence to answer at this question? Gaiac

Thanks. I know this manipulation (--nodeps!) With your first manipulation, you confirm, it's normal that gnome uninstall too. It's not a revolutionary thinks for mageia, but i think it's not a good package choice. thanks for your answer. P.S:sorry my english is poor
well it's an upstream choice (like networkmanager), and btw you can disable pulseaudio if you don't want it.
