Samba needs X again. Why does this keep happening?

It's really annoying to have pacman keep trying to sneak in significant parts of X on a dedicated server.

Is there a way in pacman.conf to specify an entire group of packages as "no chance in hell"?

[root@fileserver ftp]# pacman -S samba

Targets: libjpeg-6b-4 xproto-7.0.5-1 libxau-1.0.0-1 libxdmcp-1.0.1-1
         kbproto-1.0.2-1 inputproto-1.3.2-1 libx11-1.0.0-1 xextproto-7.0.2-1
         libxext-1.0.1-1 libxi-1.0.1-1 libice-1.0.1-1 libsm-1.0.1-1
         libxt-1.0.1-1 libxmu-1.0.1-1 xf86vidmodeproto-2.2.2-1
         libxxf86vm-1.0.1-1 libdrm-2.0.1-1 libgl-dri-6.4.2-2 glproto-1.4.7-1
         mesa-6.4.2-1 freeglut-2.4.0-2 libtiff-3.8.2-1 libpng-1.2.8-1
         cups-1.1.23-5 heimdal-0.7.2-1 cyrus-sasl-2.1.21-2 openldap-2.3.21-1
         smbclient-3.0.22A-1 samba-3.0.22A-1

Re: Samba needs X again. Why does this keep happening?

I don't know how to disable an entire group, but i've done some dependency checking for samba.

samba
Depends On        : cups openldap popt smbclient

cups
Depends On        : acl gnutls libpng libtiff openslp pam

libtiff
Depends On        : freeglut libjpeg libxi libxmu zlib

freeglut
Depends On        : libxxf86vm mesa

So your problem is probably caused by the libtiff package.

You could try creating your own pkgbuild for cups without libtiff .

Hmm, libtiff should have those dependencies as makedependencies. The libtiff.so file in it only needs zlib, libjpeg and glibc to function.

Below is the libtiff pkgbuild from abs.
Looks like you should file a bugreport on flyspray , kleptophobiac .
