Description Dead Mozay 2024-06-28 03:59:58 UTC 
When installing libreoffice in an environment other than plasma, for example GNOME, the libreoffice-qt6 package is installed, which brings with it half of the plasma6 environment
Comment 1 Brandon Bigam 2024-06-29 18:12:51 UTC 
I came here to report this and see it already here. 

Specifically, package libreoffice-24.2.4.2-3.1 unconditionally recommends libreoffice-qt6. This package depends on various KDE libraries, and, through the chain of recommends, brings in quite a lot of KDE, which isn't needed or helpful outside of an (intentional) KDE Plasma setup. In my case, it's in Xfce, and I'm glad I noticed before all those KDE packages were pulled in.

This would affect a great many people as they update libreoffice with recommends from DEs other than Plasma, so I suggest changing the dependencies quickly. However it worked with libreoffice-qt5 seemed to be fine.

Now the libreoffice-qt5 package is forcibly installed, and now it drags the KF5 and KF6 libraries with it.

Can confirm.

Ok, I've removed the recommendation on libreoffice-qt5, which was already there, and forwarded it to openSUSE:Factory:

Comment 7 Martin Schreiner 2024-07-15 17:30:11 UTC 
Ok, this should be fixed on Tumbleweed with the 24.2.5.2 release.
libreoffice no longer recommends libreoffice-qt5 or libreoffice-qt6.
