Dependencies in APT/DNF installations

AlexRichert-RedLine · ‎07-26-2024

I was hoping someone could help me to better understand the Intel oneAPI package dependencies when installing through APT or DNF, as I seem to get more packages than I would expect. If all I want is C, CXX, and Fortran compilers, then the OpenMP package, some Eclipse plugin-related packages (I don't have Eclipse on my system), and Intel MPI are automatically installed. Disabling recommended/suggested packages in APT seems to have no effect. In my DNF-based installation, if I try to uninstall intel-oneapi-mpi, it will insist that I have to uninstall Fortran as well. Do I really have to have MPI installed if I want to use ifx/ifort for serial applications? I don't think that's consistent with what comes from the offline installers, but I could be misremembering. This is mainly a concern in CI contexts where we have limited disk space to install into and would like to avoid unnecessary extras.

This issue happens on multiple systems, but I'll provide info based on my CentOS Stream release 8 machine.
This issue has happened with a range of versions, but let's go with 2023.2.1. The packages I want installed are intel-oneapi-dpcpp-cpp and intel-oneapi-compiler-fortran. In short, I want icx, icpx, and ifx.
There's no error code, but I'm attaching screenshots that show what happens when I attempt to uninstall intel-oneapi-icc-eclipse-plugin-cpp-2023.2.1 and intel-oneapi-mpi-2021.10.0. he former would result in icx/icpx being removed; the latter would result in ifx being removed.
I want a minimal install for compiling with icx/icpx/ifx.
In this instance I am using the RPM repo through DNF (again, same thing happens with Ubuntu/APT).
