[done] Cannot just de-install Google-fonts

[aa-kk]

Hi all.

Is it normal to use rpm -e --no-deps to remove google-fonts ?

It seems I need to remove libre-office too.....

Any ideas?

We don't have a package named google-fonts in our repositories:

Code: Select all

[doktor5000@Mageia5]─[20:49:54]─[~] urpmf -f --name google-fonts
[doktor5000@Mageia5]─[20:50:13]─[~]

Please show the output of

Code: Select all

rpm -qa|sort|grep google

and it may also help if you would mention why in particular you want to uninstall this package.

I tried to keep it general, thought is was obvious, but OK, these two: google-crosextra-caladea-fonts and: google-crosextra-carlito-fonts
And I want google-guice to go too. Jboss, maven are difficult too. and others. Jetty & Ant got installed sometime for ?? Never used.

Often, I find, one can install anything, but to get it OFF again....... maybe too many dependancies on the packages?
One should have a smart, logging installer, that knows and asks if to de-install the installed dependencies too, if possible.

And I want the google stuff off my main machine (my mobile is just secondary) because it is my prerogative as an owner.

Yes, you have opened a can of worms.

For google-crosextra-caladea-fonts and google-crosextra-carlito-fonts you would also need to remove libreoffice, or you need to remove them using rpm -e --nodeps
google-guice can be uninstalled, but might remove some other packages from the jave stack, like maven,xmvn,hadoop.

For maven and jboss you can try as root with

Code: Select all

urpme -a maven
urpme -a jboss

And google stuff - you recognise the first two you mentioned are two free font packages that google provides as alternative to some proprietary fonts ...
Although google-guice does not belong to a default install, so it must have been installed explicitly. But sure it's your prerogative.

OK, I have the two google fonts off.

For the rest: not clear what it will do to the system, so I will (have to) let it be.

OK, I have the two google fonts off.

Does your system now feel somewhat safer with those bad google fonts removed?

[aa-kk]

Yes, boots better. No hibernate yet, but maybe, in time.

[doktor5000]

It boots better because you removed two fonts?

Every bit helps, where ever it may be.

Big bit: trying to find a need for keeping java on my system; if not, it goes too.
(Java 1.8 is supposed to have good multithreading, but what serious Java-apps do I have? None, I think)
