The current prediction can be seen as optimistic (minimal) prediction, but there should be something like typical/expected pessimistic (could use +50-70% on installed size on repos without extra metainfo) Are there other zypper operations as big as zypper dup? zypper in openoffice? Main reason for a good prediction is to tell humans and programs if the packages will fit on disk. And if the pessimistic guess exceeds free space, there should at least be some warning. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
