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?
