The patches are marked as interactive, so obviously they cannot be installed in non-interactive mode. The real problem IMO is that they are marked interactive at all: Flash Player and Java don't need any real interaction during installation, they just want you to agree to the license, which is what the option --auto-agree-with-licenses is there for. Unfortunately, as the patches are still marked as interactive (although they aren't), there's no way to install them in non-interactive mode (just checked with openSUSE-2012-250 on 12.1) _even if you use this option_. For the kernel it's debatable. Its installation isn't interactive either, but you need to/should reboot afterwards, which I wouldn't count as interactive, and indeed it has a separate flag in the patch description. -- 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.

Well,

if you think this option works the way it was designed, why does - "zypper -n up" install all packages (including kernel, flash and java) but - "zypper -n patch" skip kernel, flash and java patches due to "interactivity"?

Am I missing something here?

There's a difference beteen packages and patches. 'zypper up' is a package based update to newer versions. Package installation is not interactive unless you have to confirm a license. A patch is issue based. A patch has more sources of 'interactiveness' than packages have. It may e.g contain additional (issue related) messages to be shown to the user (like e.g. a 'reboot suggested') upon installation of the patch. For each interaction there's a default when "-n" is used. For packages this is to fail if the package has a license unless you use --auto-agree-with-licenses. For patches it is to omit patches with messages to confirm unless you use --with-interactive. -- 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.
