The "problem" is that marking a pattern as taboo does not mark the contained packages as taboo. The packages are "only" unselected and can be re-selected via dependencies (which happens with zmd).
This is not the expected behaviour and can cause confusion - especially for the zenworks pattern which is probably the "top taboo" pattern ;-)
It works now - the pattern magic in this case was a bit too involved, the bug report is: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=218492
You can now deselect the pattern and install the other one,
Andreas, I'm afraid we are talking about different issues - even if they have the same result ;-)
I'll write short summaries about the bugs to make it clear:
a) Bug 218492 ("your" one): fix the patterns so that you can uninstall zmd without trouble
b) Bug 215355 ("my" one): taboo'ing a pattern does not taboo the contained packages - which is (maybe) technically correct, but very confusing for users
Please read bug 215355, especially comment #4 and #5.
Ah I see - yes, we have to find ways to improve this in 10.3, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
