Summary	0002014: gtk2 dependencies
Description	I don't believe the below is an issue directly with Rocky Linux, but I can reproduce the issue with it, and I was hoping you could help trace why it's happening. I am building a docker container with gtk2, and I noticed that the container size is much larger than what it should be. What's odd is that it's working fine if I run the rockylinux:9 docker image and install gtk2, but if I first run "dnf update systemd-libs", then the issue happens. In the below output, can you tell why the package count changes? Why does updating systemd-libs cause new weak dependencies to be installed? I realize that I can get around this by skipping the install of weak dependencies, but I'm trying to figure out what changed to cause this. Thanks for your help.
Steps To Reproduce	# docker run --rm -ti rockylinux:9 bash ## dnf install gtk2 ... Install 44 Packages Total download size: 12 M Installed size: 44 M ## dnf -y update systemd-libs ## dnf install gtk2 ... Install 198 Packages Total download size: 127 M Installed size: 469 M

Louis Abel 2025-04-09 15:15 administrator ~0009754	This may be due to the many "recommends" on a lot of packages that newer systemd-libs requires, but it's unclear. If this is an issue with 9.5 containers, please open a new bug report. Closing...
