--- Comment #3 from Michael Schröder mls@suse.com 2012-11-05 10:10:04 UTC --- Yes, I'm sure. While it's true that we have "pattern-" packages in openSUSE, the patterns still exist as a separate entity that simply require the rpm packages. The problem is that for the zypp history file this means that the rpm "pattern-" packages get flagged as "installed because of a dependency", so the information that the user selected a pattern is lost.
