Hi,
there is something in yast's package management module that confuses me. I have uninstalled a certain package (using command line rpm), but every time I open package management, it tries to come back (i.e. it is marked as autoinstall).
Since you removed it with rpm, zypp (yast/zypper) has no way to know that the package is not wanted. If you remove it with yast or zypper, the package will be added to /var/lib/zypp/SoftLocks and won't get autoinstalled anymore.
I have made sure not to use anything like --force when removing the package, so dependencies should be satisfied. I've also checked the "Show solver information" menu item, with "show recommended packages" on, but to no avail. I guess I could taboo the package, but I would still like to know why it tries to come back.
no need to do that -- cheers, jano Ján Kupec YaST team ---------------------------------------------------------(PGP)--- Key ID: 637EE901 Fingerprint: 93B9 C79B 2D20 51C3 800B E09B 8048 46A6 637E E901 ---------------------------------------------------------(IRC)--- Server: irc.freenode.net Nick: jniq Channels: #zypp #yast #suse #susecz ---------------------------------------------------------(EOF)---
