[Bug 1006409] Difficult to remove all software in pattern during upgrade
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1006409 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1006409#c3 Stefan Hundhammer <shundhammer@suse.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #3 from Stefan Hundhammer <shundhammer@suse.com> --- This has always been a side effect of the very concept of patterns: They are really just a bunch of dependencies. But the same package might be required by one or more patterns, and also by other packages. That makes removing them difficult. If you are in that kind of situation, your only chance is to switch to the patterns view in the *detailed* software selection where you can see all the packages that constitute a pattern individually, and then trying to remove them one by one. Yes, that is tedious. You will have to make many individual decisions, and that makes it very error-prone. There is no reasonably easy way to do this. And this is now 6 years old without any action. That means that nobody found this important enough during all that time to invest any development resources, even if somebody would have had a good idea how to do this. Realistically, this will not change for the forseeable future. Closing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
