Hello, Today was installing python3-podman-compose, but when do the install the rpm bring 551.7 MB of packages a total of 247 packages. i thinks is anormal this behavior.
Sorry for the late reply, vacation time kicked in. Actually, in case you never had any python3.11 packages installed on your system, then this might be a completely normal number of packages. python3-podman-compose uses the primary python on Tumbleweed (I guess we are talking tumbleweed here?). Currently this is python3.11, it was 3.10 before and 3.9 before that. In my case, where lots of python3.11 packages are already present, it looks like this: $ LANG=C sudo zypper in python3-podman-compose Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... 'python3-podman-compose' not found in package names. Trying capabilities. Resolving package dependencies... The following 2 NEW packages are going to be installed: python311-podman-compose python311-python-dotenv 2 new packages to install. Overall download size: 138.0 KiB. Already cached: 0 B. After the operation, additional 370.1 KiB will be used. Continue? [y/n/v/...? shows all options] (y): n $ rpm -qa|grep python311|wc -l 214 $ As you see, 214 packages are already installed on my system. So, to dig into this: Before the installation, which python packages were installed? "rpm -qa|grep python311" counts only 3.11 ones. Also, depending on your setting you might also get some "recommended" or "suggested" packages during installation. There are zypper options to disable those, if desired. Kind Regards, Johannes
Thanks for the info.
