Hi!
In 11.1 the mode of exit for yast-software-manager upon the successful
completion of installation was to exit without confirmation. I wanted to ask
if for 11.2 this default could be changed to show the summary page instead,
as
it is much more useful/reassuring for a user to see this after a successful
confirmation rather than the software-manager abruptly disappearing.

Please note that I understand how to set this to be the exit mode of yast-
software-management from /etc/sysconfigeditor in yast. I feel that showing
the
summary page, which is really nice btw, should be the default way in 11.2

Thanks

It's even worse because if there is an error (see
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431854 ) the user doesn't
know about it either, at least zypper warns if you have to skip a
package which can't be downloaded but if there is an error, yast2 sw
management needs to restart and zypper needs to refresh and verify
otherwise the system could end up with broken dependencies.
I opened the above bug /2008-10-03.
