Why? I don't remember previous releases requiring this clutter, or any of the rest of the requires appearing in the console log attached:
# cat /usr/share/doc/packages/xorg-x11/README.meta This package is a metapackage, created for compatibility.
Please use instead the following packages:
appres ... xwud
Hello, do you have a suggestion on what we should do ?
Simply removing this dependency, or changing it to something else, e.g. 'xorg-x11-server' ?
Just guessing, a change to xorg-x11-server would do it. Requiring xdm for trinity-tdm might do it as well. Tdm is started indirectly by xdm. I would think that dropping everything conceivably would allow tde to be installed without any of X installed.
On one 15.3 installation configured with TDE repos for 15.2, I just did a full update/upgrade. Following that I did
# rpm -e --nodeps xorg-x11
after which I first switched the repos from 15.2 to 15.3, then did
# zypper -v dup
A Konsole transcript is at https://paste.opensuse.org/18808537 that tails a few commands re installed packages following the dup.
I noticed no errors, and yet found no 15.2 TDE packages remaining. I logged out, then back in, then out and restarted TDM, and logged back in again, all without any apparent errors. Did you already drop xorg-x11 as a require?
