Am I missing something here? The packages for the kernel, flash and java are marked as interactive as well, just like the corresponding patches, right? As a user, I would expect the "-n" option to work the same way for "up" and "patch"?!? ---- Actually I just reread the zypper man page, and there is a "--with-interactive" switch for the "patch" commmand: "Avoid skipping of interactive patches when in non-interactive mode." This looks promising (I cant test right now), but the explanation is kinda confusing, right? So, to summarize: "-n" is a global option, but then, for "patch" there are the options: --skip-interactive --with-interactive for "update" there is the option: --skip-interactive (--with-interactive missing) for "install", none of these exist... -- 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.
