Hi,
I'm surprised why ibus is installed on my machine.
Is ibus needed for anything on my machine? The package claims that it was "Installed as a dependency for another package", but no package seems to need it.
$ pacman -Qi ibus Name : ibus Version : 1.5.9-4 Required By : None Optional For : None Conflicts With : None Replaces : None Install Reason : Installed as a dependency for another package $ pactree -r ibus ibus
I replaced two packages with dummy packages, non of the "original" packages does need ibus.
$ pacman -Si pulseaudio gvfs | grep ibus
Has got ibus any effect, when no other package requires it?

Ralf, I think you can uninstall ibus safely, unless you use it for e.g. writing simplified chinese, then you would also need e.g. the ibus-sunpinyin from AUR or something similar. I'm guessing it was installed in the past on your system as a dependency of a AUR package where the AUR packager uses ibus to write his native language.
