Hello everyone. I went to upgrade today and for some strange reason the upgrade wants to install a bunch of GNOME stuff. Is there a way I can find out what package is requiring these GNOME packages so I can get rid of it? I run an almost completely KDE system with a few exceptions, such as a few things I can't get with KDE like gParted, Pidgin, Easytag, Gnomad and Gimp.
Here are the packages that the upgrade is asking to install:
libsoup-2.28.2-1 libproxy-0.2.3-1 libsoup-gnome-2.28.2-1 fuse-2.8.1-1 bluez-4.58-1 libunique-1.1.6-1 libatasmart-0.17-1 devicekit-disks-009-3 gnome-disk-utility-2.28.1-1 gvfs-1.4.3-1 libgnome-2.28.0-2
Edit: It looks like the requirements may be from the GTK-QT engine, but I am uncertain why so many GNOME things would be required as a result of using a theme engine, but I'm not 100% sure that is the culprit.

gtk-qt-engine depends on libbonoboui which depends on libgnome, etc
You might want to install gtk-qt-engine-svn which doesn't require gnome stuff.

I can try that. Should I be concerned though that the version you linked to hasn't been updated in quite some time?

in libgnome 2.28.0-2 gvfs was added as depedency FS#17598. gvfs depends on gnome-disk-utility etc.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Thanks for telling me about this. The gnome developers with all their brains took a perfectly good library and decided to bundle a binary that depends on ~50MB of hard drive related crap.

Great things come in tar.xz packages.
