  • 11.3 pkg uninstall "recursively"? Stuck on dependency loop

    From ARZ Lab@21:1/5 to All on Tue Oct 26 03:08:07 2021
    Hi Group,

    I'm quite new to pkg, mostly used pkg[info|add|rm] before.

    Trying to reduce the footprint of new full 11.3 install, started with gnome and could not find any way to remove the packages including dependants.

    Ended up with self-mate recursive script, but that one has found two packages that depend on each other

    ===========================
    bash-4.1#
    bash-4.1# pkg uninstall system/display-manager/desktop-startup@0.37.1-0.175.2.0.0.26.0
    Creating Plan (Solver setup): -
    pkg uninstall: Unable to remove 'system/display-manager/desktop-startup@0.37.1-0.175.2.0.0.26.0' due to the following packages that depend on it:
    system/input-method/imf-startup@0.5.11-0.175.3.0.0.26.2
    bash-4.1#
    bash-4.1# pkg uninstall system/input-method/imf-startup@0.5.11-0.175.3.0.0.26.2 Creating Plan (Solver setup): -
    pkg uninstall: Unable to remove 'system/input-method/imf-startup@0.5.11-0.175.3.0.0.26.2' due to the following packages that depend on it:

    bash-4.1#
    =============================

    How can I get out of it?
    I cold not find any option for force uninstall ignoring dependencies

    Thanks
    Andrei

    The normal install procedure is to start minimal and work up.
    Default install should be solaris-small-server, a lot of people the
    increase that to solaris-large-server.

    For desktp it is solaris-desktop.

    So, in the 1st instance try
    pkg uninstall solaris-desktop

    Thanks Bruce
    Uninstalling solaris-desktop was a good idea.
    That ran good, however, I still have bunch of gnome/ audio/ umage/ print/ groups with weird dependencies between each other that make it impossible ro remove the packages in a clean way, without risking to kill the system. In fact, I don't mind the risk,
    but there seem to be neither --force nor --nodeps options. Or is there?

    As this is a new install, I'd suggest you start again and install either solaris-small-server (text installer)and add what you need , or i using
    AI then solaris-large-server.

    Have a look at https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E53394_01/html/E54814/gmkea.html

    (I can't find the S11.4 page just now)
