wammu dependencies

[gumb]

Hi. Recently I upgraded my system to openSUSE 42.2 and I just realized
that I appear to have no further use for all the gstreamer-0.10 packages
that are installed. What's more, I've seen suggestions that these can
cause a lot of issues nowadays and that the newer gstreamer-1.10 can
provide all the same functionality. So, I thought I'd delete the older
version.

But, doing so wants to delete wammu too. It is the only significant
package remaining that has some, perhaps indirect, reliance on something
connected to gstreamer-0.10. I tried updating wammu, gammu and one or
two other packages to newer versions than those supplied in the official
openSUSE repo. Still the same issue. Here's what the package manager
outputs:

[ ] break libgstreamer-0_10-0-0.10.36-16.2.x86_64 by ignoring some
of its dependencies

#### YaST2 conflicts list END ###

What functionality would be lost if I keep wammu and delete the rest?
Will wammu still run, or does it need those wxWidgets dependences?

Cheers,

Seems like python-wxWidgets is the culprit, you should probably tell
openSUSE guys to fix it, the dependency there is IMHO not needed (at
least I see no such dependency on Debian). However without this
library, Wammu will not work at all as it's what is used for
implementing the UI :-).

Not sure if I understand correctly. You mean the python-wxWidgets
dependency shouldn't be necessary for gstreamer-0.10, whereas it
certainly is necessary for Wammu?

python-wxWidgets is necessary for Wammu, but python-wxWidgets IMHO
should not require gstreamer.
