Looks like this is due to bnc#668588.
For the solver fs-dependencies supplement the always 'installed' system
package.
So in case the solverflags 'ignorealreadyrecommended' (or 'onlyrequires') are
set, those packages won't be selected.
- IMO YaST should turn on 'ignorealreadyrecommended' when doing installations
in unattended modes (i.e. config modules installing packages or yast -i). Those
acttions should not attract unrelated packages.
- During system installation/update it should be turned off to resolve this
bug.
(@Ladislav: pls. check whether SLE11SP is affected by this too)
- Interactive and in the running system a toggle, as it seems to be introduced
by bnc#668588, is probably OK.
A more user friendly solution could be to have an initial solver run (with
'ignorealreadyrecommended' off) without any package being selected. If the
solver now selects outstanding recommendations, collect them in a list and
present them to the user. Say 'These are package recommended by your system.
Decide which of them should be installed and which not.' If the user deselects
some packages from the list and later commits, they will be weak-locked so they
won't show up in the list the next time. Also add a 'I'll think about this
later' button, and if pressed continue with 'ignorealreadyrecommended' turned
on.
