Description:

fwupd (1.3.5-1) requires unnecessary dependencies for non-mobile phone hardware: modemmanager (1.12.0-2), its related split package libmm-glib (1.12.02), and mobile-broadband-provider-info (20190618-1).

Forum user Lone_Wolf confirms “building with extra-x86_64-build gave a check error , I used makepkg -Crs --nocheck to build”

Steps to reproduce:
Install fwupd on non-mobile phone hardware and unnecessary packages above are pulled in.

Yes, I agree, these dependencies are not needed.

Bruno what do you want to do? Since you made the tpm stack a hard dependency I am not sure how to handle this.

I’ve revived https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/issues/1526 upstream. There has been some confusion on why tpm2 has been made mandatory…

In the mean time I’ve made this an optdep, the dependencies are several MiB large and it will likely affect even less people than tpm.
