I use OpenSuse on my raspberry pi, I have a minimal configuration that runs headless.
I try to keep the installed packages to the bare minimum and I realized that, in order to install samba, the following packages are automatically added by zypper:

My question is: why on Earth do I have to install yast and PackageKit to have samba??
I do all the configuration on the command line, why should I install 192.0 MiB of stuff just for Samba ???
Thank you, please give me a reason >:(.
