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
Interesting. Nice feature.
But...
The other day I was installing printers with Yast. I saw an option to remove autodetection of hot plugged printers, and remove the packages that provide that feature. Wonderfull! I did so.
Yast now wants to install it back. I had to taboo the package.
Is that a bug?
Of course this is never ever a bug at all but a feature ;-) Seriously: Besides the usual RPM hard requirements there are kind of weaker package install recommendations. I guess some other installed package (no idea which one) recommends that the particular package should be installed too.
