A patch is just a bunch of constraints! I try to explain: A patch can assert that in case you are using a package 'Foo', your system contains at least version 2, because e.g. version 1 is buggy. To do so, the patch contains a dependency conflicting with "Foo < 2". The dependency is broken if the system contained "Foo-1", and it is fulfilled if the system contains "Foo-2", or no Foo is installed. If a patchs dependency is broken, the patch is considered being as 'NEEDED' (Foo-1 installed). If the dependencies are fine, the patch is called 'SATISFIED' (Foo-2 installed). This is basically how patches are classified. (Patches which are satisfied, because the do not mention a single installed package, are called "IRRELEVANT'(no Foo installed).) Selecting a patch, simply activates the dependencies for the next solver run. The solver will now try to satisfy all constraints. It will suggest to install "Foo-2", if "Foo-1" is installed and the (needed) Foo-patch was selected. But if the Foo-patch is already satisfied (Foo-2 installed), its constraints are fulfilled and so they will not cause any additional action. This is why selecting satisfied and irrelevant patches will never cause a package to be installed. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

You are right that selecting an optional patch does not cause any action. Nevertheless it might be interesting to see those patches, their descriptions and the packages included, etc. Thomas? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
