Uprade Wants to Install GNOME Stuff

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.

Re: Uprade Wants to Install GNOME Stuff

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.

Re: Uprade Wants to Install GNOME Stuff

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.
