It came in even after removing redhat-lsb. It stopped after using --
nobase.

I know that I can remove single packages, but I'm sure there were more
unwanted packages getting pulled in. That's why I wanted to know more
about the cause.

Thanks for the info. I checked the requires and I have most of them on the
machine, anyway, probably from installing core. What's missing without
redhat-lsb are a very few libraries like libICE. I'll see if adding
redhat-lsb gives me cups again.
