I just installed 10.2 on a friend's system, and since he uses Opera (and I installed Seamonkey for my own use when I'm working on the system), I decided to remove Firefox. That created nearly 10 dependency "conflicts", the first of which was that "pattern:x11-<stuff>" was broken because there was no other source for Firefox. One of the options was to remove X11 from the system (duh!), and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what would have happened if I had said to do that. Telling Yast to ignore the "conflict" and carry on did not break anything, and AFAIK Firefox was successfully removed from the system (never did remember to check, since I was p***ed off on account of the amount of time I wasted figuring this out). This doesn't seem to be in any way related to a dependency conflict; instead, it is happening because Firefox is a pre-selected package in the X11 pattern, and someone seems to have decided that anything that is a pre-selected package in some pattern absolutely *must* be installed, and the user will be given every kind of encouragement not to disagree. Most humble apologies for the harsh tone and the coarse language, but anything that appears to tell me that I absolutely *must* install a particular web browser simply because I wish to install a graphical system resides in the realm of bovine scatology. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. ---
