Summary: upgrade is not "install all" (10.0->10.2)
Product: openSUSE 10.2
Version: Final
Platform: i386
OS/Version: Other
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 - None
Component: Installation
AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReportedBy: bluedzins@xxxxx

I have opensuse 10.0 and now I want to make an upgrade to 10.2. So I started
upgrade -- now, the installer shows me that 103% of disk space is needed. Why?
Because instead of really upgrading my system installer decided do install such
absolutely necessary apps like chromium, ruby, boost, etc -- the list is long.

I would say, ok, if boost is needed by some newer version of already installed
app, ok. But I don't believe that all of the sudden all interpreters (ruby,
perl, python) are must-have.

Please, upgrade should mean -- upgrade ALREADY INSTALLED software. Not --
"install new stuff". The user has to waste her/his time to deselect of those
"extras".
