libdrakx-kbd-mouse is required by drakxtools-backend, which is required for bootloader-utils, pulled by kernel (required to build initrd).

A big issue to me is the following dep chain: dracut -> plymouth -> desktop-common-data -> xdg-utils -> xprop -> libx11 You can test some of the issues by just doing this: mkdir chroot-minimal-cauldron urpmi --no-suggests --root ./chroot-minimal-cauldron basesystem urpmi -- Olivier Blin - blino
