Feature #310706, revision 2
  Title: zypper: allow to adjust proposed solver solution
   
  openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed
  Priority
      Requester: Desirable
   
  Requested by: Ján Kupec (jkupec)
   
Description:
  It would be nice if it would be possible to change the solver solution
  at the point when the installation summary is shown and zypper prompts
  whether to continue. This would allow the user to conveniently remove
  unwanted packages automatically chosen for installation, add another
  package, etc. This is especially needed if it is difficult to work
  one's way to the solution (in case of many dependency problems, e.g.
  during an upgrade).
  Removing, adding, and keeping an installed version of a package could
  be implemented as part of this feature request first. Further
  enhancements can be done later.

  Use Case:
  During a dist-upgrade, user goes through a lot of solver problems. Then
  sees something unwanted in the summary. Currently the only solution is
  to quit, lock a package or change some command line options, restart
  the dist-upgrade and go through all the painfull solving again. With
  this feature the user would have a good chance of changing the summary
  in a convenient way.
