5.30: EL9 RPM has huge dependency tree in difference to EL8 #177

Closed pbiering closed 7 months ago

pbiering commented 7 months ago

While testing update from 5.20 to 5.30 it turns out that on EL9 the RPM dependency tree is much longer and resulting in unexpected installation of packages like

chromium
flatpak-session-helper
xvidcore .... (194 package here in sum)

Was this intended?

that's intentional. In comparisson, el8 has a bigger rpm size because it contains chromium while rocky 9 uses the systems chromium.

Just note that the new dependency tree activates avahi-daemon which is usually not required on servers, following commands will at least permanently disable it:

systemctl disable --now avahi-daemon.service
systemctl disable --now avahi-daemon.socket
