Hi,

So I went to YaST Software Management to install yelp. To my
considerable surprise, it entails the installation of quite a few
packages that I cannot see as being legitimate dependencies for
yelp.
Unfortunately, there appears to be no way to export just a list
corresponding to the "Installation Summary" view, so I took a
snapshot and attached it.
Is there any way (other than trial and error) to get a more minimal
set of packages when installing yelp?
It appears to me yelp must be a gnome application, and you must run
KDE. Those dependencies look normal to me for running a gnome app
while in KDE. IOW, I would guess that is already a minimal set.
Yes, I run KDE with a few Gnome applications. And yes, Yelp is "The
Gnome 2.x Desktop Help Browser."
But the last time I let a bunch of Gnome packages get installed (so I
could run the Gnome control panel) I was sorry 'cause it messed up my
screensaver. I had to painstakingly back each of those packages out
(based on a screen capture just like the one I sent here).
But really, why does Yelp require, e.g., Beagle, OpenLDAP and two
weather library packages?
