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:
system/display-manager/desktop-startup@0.37.1-0.175.2.0.0.26.0
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?

What's depending on them?

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)
