That may be true internally, but the user experience is different - installing hardware is done outside the yast UI :D so we need not care - changing the set of visible filesystems may involve YaST, but in the end it happens outside of the packager UI, so again the user does not need to care Languages do stand out, since they look like patterns or packages (even though technically they are another funny thing). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

The libzypp part will be to somehow split up the 're-eavaluation of recommends of already_installed_packages' to be able to limit the action to language, hardware and/or filesystem. Depending on the result of this will see whether it will be possible to handle those new options automatically to gain the expected result, or whether UIs need to assist. (zypper does not offer languages because were not able to handle them in a reasonable way, due to the above.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=936768 http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=936768#c5 --- Comment #5 from Gabriele Mohr --- Martin, to my understanding this cannot workaround the libzypp bug. libzypp will be fixed to only respect recommends for already installed packages concerning language, hardware, filesystem and not (as now) for all packages. When I have worked on 'zypper' and planned to provide language support I talked to Michel how to workaround the bug. This was outcome: Locale handling: ---------------- Add/remove language packages: 1. save state of flag 'ignoreRecommendedForAlreadyInstalled' and set it to 'false' (if not already done) 2. solve to get list of recommends before adding the locale (all packages having transact-flag set, see )libzypp/zypp/ResStatus.h 3. soft lock these packages 4. add locale and solve again -> list of language dependent packages 5. remove soft lock 6. reset initial state of 'ignoreRecommendedForAlreadyInstalled' -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=936768 http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=936768#c7 --- Comment #7 from Michael Andres --- In libzypp-15.10.0 the resolver treats changed RequestedLocale settings package-like and re-evaluates the language supporting packages accordingly. This should solve the yast language dialogs needs (if it resolves after having changed the languages). Generic resolver API and zypper commands will be the next thing todo... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
