Let me jump in, as I had the same problem. I don't use GNOME, but I guess that I have almost all installed. I laughed when Metacity and evolution data server were listed as dependency, but I had no time to play with, so I just let zypper install everything. I can't recall what pulled them in, but I'll try to see is there anything in zypper log. Last time it happened with Beagle, some time ago. Joe Shaw was puzzled as Beagle has no so many dependencies. That time I had time to play and remove all that wasn't direct dependency. Though it is install all then remove those that are not listed as direct dependency. -- Regards, Rajko --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
