Title: Pull needed dependencies when installing from a local file
openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Christoph Thiel (cthiel1)
reject date: 2009-07-16 11:53:40
reject reason: out of resources for 11.2
Priority
Requester: Important
Projectmanager: Important
Requested by: Piotrek Juzwiak (benderbendingrodriguez)
Description:
It would be great if it would be possible for YaST? to install any
necessary packages when installing something from a local file.
For example: VirtualBox rpm package needs pam-devel which would have to
be installed by invoking YaST first (not everyone knows what to do when
they encounter a message saying that they're missing a dependency).
So it would be great for YaST to pull the needed dependency or say that
they are not available. This would simplify installation of many
packages for new users.

Zypper can do that. Just install local package by:
zypper in ~/path/to/some.rpm
#2: Piotrek Juzwiak (benderbendingrodriguez) (2009-06-17 17:22:31)
I don't mean by opening the file from a console, i mean the GUI way
when someone clicks the file. Do you thin a new user would know how to
open a terminal and additionally know zypper??
#3: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2009-07-10 12:05:42)
I agree, GUI install and "zypper in" should have the same semantics.
#4: Duncan Mac-Vicar (dmacvicar) (2009-07-16 11:55:50)
This should be implemented in PackageKit, adding handlng of packages to
the backend.

+ Actually I checked, and PackageKit backend for ZYpp supports this
+ already.
+ The frontend kpackagekit, when called with a local file it install it
+ with dependencies (if those are available in the repository). gnome-
+ packagekit should also support it. What is missing, is to change the
+ default association of yast2 -i to kpackagekit
