Can anyone shed some light on what appears to be errant dependency bloat? In the recent (yesterday?) update to apparmor-utils, the following 196 new dependency packages were required for a simple zypper dup on text-only 42.3 servers:
The following 196 NEW packages are going to be installed:

196 new packages to install.
The offending package “apparmor-utils” has been removed from the servers with a hope of future correction/resolution. Any ideas what/why this happened?
I’ll submit a bug report if it’s not some “feature” upgrade, otherwise, it looks like these opensuse text-based servers will be losing their AppArmor support/packages…
Thanks!
