I wonder why the zypper command wants to delete software components like Compiz and Kate. I do not see a direct relationship to the application that I want to be removed only.

There is no direct relationship, they rather depend on powerdevil through several packages. Stefan already told you, kdebase4-workspace requires powerdevil, then kdebase4-workspace-branding needs kdebase4-workspace, then kde4-kwin needs kdebase4-workspace-branding, etc... Try playing with the dependency tree dialog in YaST a bit. -- 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.

Can the software management trigger also the removal of the corresponding language package?

I'm not sure what you mean, please explain. Also if you do not suggest there is a bug somewhere, please take this question to one of the mailing list or forums.

I would prefer the display "Continue? [Yes/no/problems/help(?)]:".

Hmm... we would have to change all prompts then, and we would have to find a way how to highlight the letters that should be used as answer (people don't want to write the whole word there). We have no problem changing the prompts if there will be more people requesting it. This is subject to discussion so please use the mailing lists.

The YaST2 dependency tree dialogue that appears after a click in the context menu of the package manager looks nice at the first glance. Unfortunately, the list on the tab "required by" ("Benötigt von") remains empty on my screen.

New problem => new bugreport please.

(In reply to comment #7) I guess that language packages should also be deinstalled if their application was removed.

They should, they depend on the app. In fact the powerdevil-lang gets uninstalled in your case.
