Description PeterF 2011-11-03 19:34:54 UTC
Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

The package "kde-wallpapers" is around 47 Mb. It is included in every service release.
Is it really necessary to include this package ?
I know this is rather a personal matter, but I hardly use any of the images included. And even though I have a flatrate, I do not want to download this package every time.
Wallpapers can easily be downloaded from the internet.
Thanks
Peter

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
see details

Actual Results:  
package is downloaded for every service release

Expected Results:  
I believe this package should be excluded.

Please report this problem to the bug tracker of your distribution.

I don't think this will work out, because any distribution will package whatever is provided as an update.
So why does KDE include the wallpapers in every service release ?
Thanks
Peter

There is no such thing as an KDE "update". Every KDE release is complete, and distributions are invited to package it in a way that the user only has to download changes instead of full packages.

apt-mark hold kde-wallpapers kde-wallpapers-default
this works for me in Mint :-) In case anyone is looking for a way to block in Ubuntu / or its derivatives which use apt-get.
