I.e. Why wasn't it auto-sucked in? It's not a hard dependency (you have the option of running without pulseaudio). but added to comps' kde-desktop group.</blockquote><div> _I_ didn't ask for pulseaudio... It just appeared (somehow). </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> You'd get that, plus any new default stuff via: yum groupinstall kde-desktop</blockquote><div> Right, but my point is that... I had an already running, installed system, I did a yum update and now I get error/warning messages. - I didn't do anything wrong. - The system allowed a 'bad' thing to happen. - The system didn't auto-add 'kde-settings-pulseaudio', - I didn't know I (now) needed 'kde-settings-pulseaudio'. </div> </div>
