The current mgetty / sendfax distribution is buggy (bug report exists) Hence I installed a fixed version - somewhat older than the recend one and marked it as "do not change". This always ensured that the packages were kept as long as I did not intentionally change the attribute. However, since openSUSE 11.4 the attribute "don't change" (Geschützt - nicht verändern) get's lost -the heck knows why this happens. So I cannot tell an unexperienced user to upgrade - because the upgrade potentionally destroys a running system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Mark a package as "Geschützt - nicht verändern") 2. wait (a day, a week, don't know how long 3. Marking is gone!!!!! Actual Results: Well, the mark as "Geschützt" is vanishing into the haze after some time - don't know what causes this behaviour! Expected Results: Guess what :-) If I intentionally mark software as _dont_change_this_ I would expect the updater to respect my decision. I have my reasons!!!! -- 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.
