Why is "About XFCE" installed in a Manjaro KDE installation?

Hi all. I have Manjaro KDE installed on my desktop PC, and have never installed any other version but KDE. Yet, when I open the pamac GUI and click on “Installed”, the very first package listed as installed is “About Xfce (libxfceui) 4.14.1-3.1”

Anyone knows the reason for this?

Thanks

Hello,

What ISO have you used for the install?

You can list the packages that depend on this package (libxfce4ui) by entering:

pacman -Sii libxfce4ui

Or you use the pactree command to find finally the explicit installed packages depending on it:

pactree -r libxfce4ui

bogdancovaciu, I originally installed it September 2019, and have just let the rolling release update it ever since, so, whatever ISO was available for download back then, don’t remember exactly the version.

Wollie, this is what I get:

$ pacman -Sii libxfce4ui

Are you using any of those packages?

exo garcon libxfce4ui-gtk3 parole ristretto thunar thunar-volman xfburn xfce4-appfinder xfce4-notifyd xfce4-panel xfce4-power-manager xfce4-session xfce4-settings xfce4-terminal xfdesktop xfmpc xfwm4

Probably easier if you run the pactree command as this shows the explict installed packages at the end of this chain as well.

Early on I had installed xfburn, which I removed shortly thereafter, when I started using K3b, however, exo still shows as installed. Could it be that my early installation of xfburn caused this issue?

Yes, possible. If exo is still installed even a recursive removal won’t have touched it as it is still needed.

Thanks, guys!!
