The package specs are broken. If we don't ignore the 'PreReq', we had to ignore the 'Requires'. The package mainatiner might be able to tell what's less bad, but not zypp. (and "No", there is no general rule telling that ignoring a 'Requires' is less bad then ignoring a 'PreReq'). -> assign to maintainer to fix the package. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It is not a hint indicating that one package should be installed before an other. 'PreReq OpenOffice_org' says: OpenOffice_org must be usable(!) in order to install OpenOffice_org-icon-themes. Being usable means, OpenOffice_org AND ALL it's REQUIREMENTS(recursively!) must be installed. I.e. a complete system being able to run each binary included in OpenOffice_org must be installed before we can install openOffice_org-icon-themes. And OpenOffice_org requires this system to include openOffice_org-icon-themes. As the cyclic dependencies prevent us from finding a legal solution, we have to violate some dependency. From zypps point of view there is no guarantee that dropping the requirement would have lead to a successful installation of openOffice_org-icon-themes. You as maintainer know that it would have worked, but zypp does not know which parts of OpenOffice_org are actually used at openOffice_org-icon-themes installtime. We guess (unfortunately nobody recognizes if we do a good guess). Only fixing the packages fixes the problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
