I just installed 11.2 rc2 from gnome liveCD, then immediately ran 'zypper dup'. It installed over 1GB of new software, including 184MB worth of OpenOffice.org help files in six languages I don't speak.
Why doesn't 'zypper dup' stick to distribution upgrades? Instead it seems to install the union of the favorite packages of every SUSE developer, or some such.
I have not tested it, but it's my understanding that only the languages specified at /var/lib/zypp/RequestedLocales should be installed. That should be just *your* languages. The "OpenOffice_org-help-<lang>" packages have a "Provides: locale(OpenOffice_org:<lang>)" that is expanded to "Supplements: OpenOffice_org & namespace:language(<lang>)", that's what I suppose is triggering the install. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
