Hi all,
I have a Cent OS 5 box with a fairly full install which I'm trying to
strip down. Since this machine will be running headless I would like
to remove all of the X11 stuff which is installed on it. However, it
seems that the "redhat-lsb" package, which I would like to keep, is
dependent on X11
- redhat-lsb depends on /usr/bin/lpr
- /usr/bin/lpr is provided by cups
- cups depends on paps
- paps depends on pango
- pango depends on libX11
Is it possible to safely break this dependancy chain so that I keep
redhat-lsb while removing X11? I'm trying to keep all of my package
management restricted to 'yum' and I certainly want to avoid 'rpm --
nodeps'.
Looking at /etc/alternatives/ makes me think there must be another
package besides cups which provides /usr/bin/lpr but I can't seem to
find it. I won't be doing any printing from this machine so I would
even be happy with a dummy /usr/bin/lpr which simply throws away
anything it receives.
Thanks,
- Richard
