https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=235764 ------- Comment #3 from andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de 2007-01-17 08:51 MST ------- There are many reports where people complain that removing a package that is required by a pattern removes unrelated packages which are required by the same pattern. I agree that the pattern implementation is very counter-intuitive, but it's very difficult to find define what would be intuitive. For example, a user might have installed a package manually, and afterwards installed a pattern that includes the package. Now, what should happen if the user deletes the pattern again? Should the package be deleted as well? Probably no, because it was installed before the pattern on explicit user request. But YaST cannot know this because the "reason" why a package has been installed is not stored anywhere. As for this specific request, sh already rejected it some time ago. There was a report (I don't have the # at hand currently, sorry) requesting that setting a pattern to taboo should set all its packages to taboo. This is basically the same as what you're requesting here and has been rejected. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
