I know how to skip the installation of weak dependencies with dnf when installing a package (either by modifying dnf.conf or directly in the command line). I was wondering: is it possible to skip a package weak dependencies during a kickstart installation?

1. Command line parameter

dnf --setopt=install_weak_deps=False newPackageName

2. Permanent setting in the dnf config file

sudo vi /etc/dnf/dnf.conf

add a line

install_weak_deps=False

  • The solution you provided is what is used to skip the installation of weak dependencies on a running system. On the question I specifically asked if there is a "documented" way to do that during a kickstart installation. @Salil Jun 5, 2020 at 14:03

Just notice this question has not a definitive answer; I'll provide myself one after a bunch of years. To skip the installation of weak dependencies for packages included in the %packages section of a kickstart file, it's enough to use the --excludeWeakdeps option:

%packages --excludeWeakdeps
# your packages
%end
