--- Comment #5 from Maciej Pilichowski
To avoid this problem, you should refresh the repositories _before_ selecting _lots_ of packages in the package selector and then realizing you can't install them.
I always do this. And it does not solve the problem (by definition).
This is not a good idea, as you can end up with severly broken system afterwards and being unable to recover from that.
Same for skip.
You should abort installation
Same for abort.
at that point, disable the repo manually, and start the package selection again.
Maybe I know what I am doing and simply don't want to waste time to go through all the selecting, resolving conflicts, etc. ? Very likely. There is no safe solution here, as long as Yast does not provide atomicy, rollback (already reported) and commit for whole operation or chunks of it. I could install 100 packages, 90th package will fail, I skip or abort and still end up with broken system. "Skip all" is just helper (wrapper) for skip -- it does not provide lower or higher safety of operation. No magic bullet here -- if you insist on safety, rollback is the key, making installation more obscure and tiresome does not help. -- 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.
