Last night on a new install we tried to download ALSA and Yast instisted
on downloading with it open offie pluggins.

Today my laptop again decided that it doesn't know it has any packages
loaded and is loading now half the base system including a completely
uneeded cpio and reloading a bunch of X11 components I don't need in
order to download firefox which suddenly stopped working.

Can someone explain the changes to yast and how come rpm can't seem
to find anything in its database any longer?

Why can't I deny to load files that yast believes are dependencies which
aren't. Its completely locked in now.

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been
attached at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt. I guess you missed
