Humm, that is interesting. I assume that at the moment YaST knows that SuSEconfig needs to run. But what will happen if people start installing "alien" (e.g. RH) packages? At first this is not possible via YOU, so one must download the package(s) manually, after which YaST can probably install it and run SuSEconfig. I doubt that this goes perfectly well for difficult packages (like kde and the like). More simple packages (e.g. perl modules) this will be okay. Well I'm looking forward to the LSB decade, it gives interesting opertunities and challenges :))
Note that in the vast majority of cases, SuSEconfig doesn't actually *need* to run when you install a new package. It only does anything useful for a select few SuSE-designed packages. Most of the time you get the exact same result with rpm -ivh, only in shorter time ;) //Anders
