https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241860 Summary: Removing zmd pattern packages deletes whole system Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: volker3204@paradise.net.nz QAContact: jsrain@novell.com On the phone to a friend, trying to get rid of zmd after he complained about a slow system after boot: Deselecting the enterprise and selecting the openSUSE pattern works fine during system install, and I would have expected this pattern change to have the same effect later. There was a reboot too. I assume both zmd and yast/zypp patterns ended up installed, so I suggested he hightlight the enterprise pattern and explicitly bin the 3 packages of it which are listed on the right side in the package list. Immediately before, he switched installation source from dvdrom drive to /disk/muchfaster/dvd.iso (being the obvious copy of the DVD image) in yast->installation sources. Success here. This may or may not be relevant. On clicking accept on binning the above 3 zmd-related packages, a popup complains about some violation involving product suse something. There is only one product, dvd in drive and dvd-copy on disk. Resolutions offered include cancel, ignore, delete. I told him not to delete product suse linux, and I doubt he'd have been that stupid, I suggested to cancel. Anyway, yast then proceeds to clean out the whole system, deleting KDE and whatnot packages. Ooooops! Clicking abort, the popup offers cancel and continue. Regardless of choice, the result is keep-on-cleaning-out-the-whole-disk! Updates as of 13 Jan were installed. Bug 1, serious: deleting 3 packages belonging to the zmd pattern, which should definitely not have any dependency on KDE, causes KDE and presumably most other packages to be deleted first. Bug 2, annoying: cancel after abort works the same as continue after abort. I should add that the system wasn't a clean install but an upgrade from 9.2(?), which hasn't however shown any other problems at system level and has worked surprisingly well. Sorry if the report is a bit vague, I didn't see it myself, but I'll attach the yast logs. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
