Uninstall Cronie

General system
#1

Without discussing the reasonableness: I would like to remove cronie cleanly. I have disabled it first:

systemctl disable --now cronie.service
   
   systemctl mask cronie.service

then tried to uninstall with sudo pacman -Rns cronie but got the following error message:

Prüfe Abhängigkeiten...
Fehler: Konnte den Vorgang nicht vorbereiten (Kann Abhängigkeiten nicht erfüllen)
:: Entfernen von cronie verletzt Abhängigkeit 'cron', benötigt von kcron

What do I do with kcron?

Edit: The computer in question is EnOS with Plasma, where cronie is already installed.

#2

You can remove kcron. It is gui management for cron which you shouldn’t need if you are removing cron support.

hmpf: Entfernen von kcron verletzt Abhängigkeit 'kcron', benötigt von kde-system-meta

Is there a way out of this?

Edit: It looks like kcron is inseparable from KDE, so let’s keep it that way. Disabling cronie will have to do then :wink:

#4

You can remove kde-system-meta unless you prefer to have the meta package around.

#5

OK, I think all this stuff won’t be necessary. I’ll uninstall it and see what’s left after that.

Uninstall with -R or right away with -Rns?

#6

You can remove it with -R.

#7

thanx a lot
