Upgrading to KDE 4.8.1 I realised that substantial time is lost
downloading fat handbooks that I do not need.
After taking a closer look, I threw out 65 handbooks which I never asked
for and which I do not need. Looking into the details of this flood (rpm
-q with a filter for handbooks), the following facts become clear
- the upgrade to kde 4.8.1 added the 4.8.1 handbooks without
uninstalling the corresponding 4.8.0 versions
- I am getting (lots of) handbooks for games, where the games themselves
are not installed (I use a minimum install, nevertheless get some games
which I remove with urpme kdegames4 - I suspect that this forgets to
remove the corresponding handbooks).
- I am getting (non-requested) kde-l10n-handbooks for french, german and
en_GB, probably due to the fact that these languages are specified in
the kde locale (languages tab) - to support spellchecking and
hyphenation, that should not trigger the handbooks
This is (a) a multiplicator for the time spent downloading and
upgrading, and (b) a substantial waste of storage.
I used urpmi --auto-orphans (no negative effects) to get rid of the
major part of this flood.
maybe is it better if you open a bug report against each of these
issues? these are simply bugs to got fixed...
cheers,
