[openFATE 307719] hplip-hpcups and assoicated packages
Feature added by: Kirk Kimmel (omf) Feature #307719, revision 1 Title: hplip-hpcups and assoicated packages openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Kirk Kimmel (omf) Description: One thing I have never understood is this hplip-hpcups package. If I uninstall this package, hplip-hpijs is automatically marked for install. If I uncheck that package as well and Accept the changes via YaST2 Software Management these packages are removed. However the next time I start Software Management hplip-hpijs is checked to be installed again. The only way to stop this behavior is to mark both packages as Taboo. Shouldn't I be able to remove packages that are not needed without having to jump through hoops to make sure they do not get installed again. Currently running OpenSUSE 11.2 Milestone 6. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307719
