Fuse (3, 2, zfs-fuse) present even though I did not install it

[amber peak]

so while this [1] says appimages don't work, i find that fuse is already installed, and as a base package, meaning i can't just rpm-ostree uninstall it [2],

from what i've been testing doing an override reset on any fuse package doesn't yeld in anyhing, doing an override reset of all lists zfs-fuse on the bottom. is it possible it got installed during the ujust for libvirt?

[2]
error: Package/capability 'fuse' is not currently requested

after doing rpm -q --whatrequiresrecursively it led to virt-v2v

fuse > libguestfs > guestfs-tools > virt-v2v

so is virt-v2v required for virtualization? if fuse2 is considered insecure, why have ujust install it

[verbal sky]

virt-v2v isn't the only package that requires fuse2

sadly, iirc the virt storage daemon requires it as well

I am happy in a way because at least I get to run veracrypt. as I don't want to use containers, the rpm package is not working correctly and missing icons in the app menu, and zulucrypt gui core dumps on startup

[verbal sky]

ah, have a look here

zfs-fuse is going away as of f43, which will resolve this issue

[amber peak]

damn, so I have to find some other way to run it

[verbal sky]

there are tons of packages that depend on fuse

rpm-ostree install fuse-encfs

or fuse-zip

etc

dnf repoquery --whatrequires fuse

I use KDE vaults and DroidFS (on Android) a lot, as well as some AppImages (Grist-Desktop for instance that can't package its Electron app as Flatpak). Difficult to avoid fuse for now.

Upstream there is no answer if they will ever support fuse3/fusermount3 for KDE Vault

Do you think they will?

[verbal sky]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[flint aspen]

@verbal sky Why do you suggest layering zfs-fuse and not simply fuse if it is only what we need for KDE Vault and AppImages?

[verbal sky]

try it, it will break because we unlayer it 😄

its a bug in ostree

you have to relayer a dependent pkg

[flint aspen]

Maybe it is a stupid question, but why not install it with brew then?

https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/libfuse@2#default

That?

[verbal sky]

that's libfuse

not fuse

also

suid root binaries are banned on brew afaik

(thank god)
