Listmates,
After updating to factory Yast2, I am surprised to find there is no "Skip" option to choose in the event of a failed package during install. Today, attempting an update, all "cairo" packages failed due to freetype errors. Once the package failed, the only options were to "ignore" (a no-no) "abort" (not what I wanted to do after protecting 5 packages out of a list of 43) or "cancel" (how this is different that abort escapes me). All I wanted to do was "skip" the failed package and continue installing the rest. Where has the "skip" option gone??
Bug or feature?
Correction:
The current options are
"Ignore" "Abort" "Retry"
But still no skip. Same question, "Bug or Feature?"
I think "ignore" is what you are looking for.
That's what I thought too, but in this case "ignore" is equivalent to "ignore" the error and "force" the install. A very very bad thing. Choosing ignore generates a prompt warning that Choosing Ignore can Lead to a Broken system. So I don't think "ignore" is the same as skip here... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
