Feature #303527, revision 18
  Title: Resolve dependencies after ignoring package download failure
   
  openSUSE-11.1: Done
  Priority
      Requester: Desirable
      Projectmanager: Desirable
   
  Requested by: Ján Kupec <jkupec@xxxxxxxxxx>
  Partner organization: openSUSE.org
   
Description:
  YaST and Zypper should run the solver before resuming installation if
  download of a package fails and the user chooses to ignore that
  package. Currently YaST continues withough solving which makes the
  ignore button useful only if the user knows how the missing package
  will affect the system.

  Documentation Impact:
  Check whether this has documentation impact
+ Thus far not even the ignore button is documented, because we are not
+ writing reference documentation, but procedure docs. Thus I think we
+ can drop documentation for this feature.

  bit of a corner case.
   
  #2: Ján Kupec <jkupec@xxxxxxxxxx> (2008-06-16 11:44:24) 
  Well, yes. An idea to cover it easily to some extent: let's advice
  users to run 'zypper verify' (or the YaST equivalent) in such case,
  after the installation is finished. This will fix hard dependencies.

  Yes, I would just suggest to add a message with instructions for the
  user.

  That should be pretty simple.
   
  #5: Ján Kupec <jkupec@xxxxxxxxxx> (2008-09-12 11:09:55) 
  done in zypper, handing over to Lada for YaST
   
  #6: Ladislav Slezak <lslezak@xxxxxxxxxx> (2008-09-12 16:00:59) (reply
  to #5)
  Implemented in yast2-2.17.23.
  After pressing [Ignore] user is advised to run the Software Management
  module (sw_single) to verify the system later.
