Description Holger Hetterich 2005-08-19 09:59:13 UTC

Description and Howto reproduce:  
When I install Default-System with KDE, and deselect the Office-Selection,  
nearly all packages of the Office Selection get installed even if it's  
deselected.  
  
In other words: It's impossible for me to install Default-KDE without  
OpenOffice. Some dependencies must trigger Openoffice (and many more packages 
from the Office selection).

Comment 1 Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-19 10:22:30 UTC

Right, responsible are:

- OpenOffice_org-gnome (Gnome)
- OpenOffice_org-kde (KDE)

So you run into the same problem with using Default-System with Gnome. You could
add both packages to Office selection, but then you'll trigger Gnome althoug
you've selected KDE or vice versa. The last time we discussed this (IIRC for
9.3) we decided to ignore this problem since we didn't find a better solution.

Holger, do you see a better solution?

Comment 3 Holger Hetterich 2005-08-21 12:58:55 UTC

No, unfortunately... 
  
It makes the Office selection pretty useless.  
  
-> WONTFIX  
  
Maybe I find the time to look at how other distributions handle that, then  
I'll reopen.
