Now if someone more knowledable could explain why the base package explicitly conflicts samba-client I would be more satisfied with this solution.

See bug 669498#c30 from Ludwig Nussel:

move the conflicts to a separate pattern minimal_base-conflicts. That way minimal_base itself doesn't need to be uninstalled in case of conflict. The conflict package still is an ugly hack of course but needed since we have no way to specify "soft locks" in a pattern. Without (soft-)locking some packages the minimal pattern would require >100MB more disk space.

Whats the criteria for a package being listed in conflicts. If the pourpose of conflicts is to keep the install minimal surely you would need to list every package thats not in 'patterns-openSUSE-minimal_base' which eould be huge. I have done my research but still none the wiser why samba client is in there when it will cause an issue in the very common senario of installing samba on top of 'patterns-openSUSE-minimal_base'. I admit once you understand the purpose of 'patterns-openSUSE-minimal_base-conflicts' its easy to just remove it and install samba but it seems to confuse people. Is there a case for not having samba-client in conflicts.

I definitely understand it better now. Out of interest any idea what package in minimal base recommends samba-client. I had a quick look but couldn't see. -- 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.
