SLiM dependency on xterm?

[Ranjan Maitra]

Hi,

Just wondering why installing the rpm for SLiM depends on xterm? Should it not be stripped of this dependency?

Many thanks,
Ranjan

Do you mean Slim as in AngularJS as in RESTful web design?
If so I've never had to install it, just put the file/s into the 
appropriate directory.

Sorry, I do not understand the question: SLiM is a simple login manager. I like it, but I don't quite see why it needs to bring in the dependency on xterm.

Try:

sudo yum install slim

or if dnf is your preference

sudo dnf install slim

Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

You should probably file a bug report.   It has a dependency on
xorg-x11-apps which appears unnecessary as well

Thank you very much! I will do so: I just wanted to be sure about this (if anyone knew why this was needed).

Many thanks,
Ranjan

There direct references to xterm in the source code, so the deps 
probably are correct.
