http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=953012 Bug ID: 953012 Summary: Unable (or at least wasn't shown) to do "just" remove a package with zypper Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: 13.2 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp Assignee: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: trifanstanislav@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/46.0.2490.71 Safari/537.36 Build Identifier: I try to remove firefox package. But zypper try to install another one, but I don't want it, and there is no option for skipping new install. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: $> sudo zypper remove firefox Actual Results: root's password: Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... 'firefox' not found in package names. Trying capabilities. Resolving package dependencies... The following NEW package is going to be installed: MozillaThunderbird The following application is going to be REMOVED: Firefox The following package is going to be REMOVED: MozillaFirefox 1 new package to install, 1 to remove. Overall download size: 33.1 MiB. Already cached: 0 B After the operation, 5.9 MiB will be freed. Continue? [y/n/p/? shows all options] (y): Expected Results: Add in the line: `Continue? [y/n/p/? shows all options] (y):` an option for remove only. It may be used `ro` option for remove only, and there should be information what it means. This actually is an usability bug. You may found tricks over the web that people do for that. That's totally not good and makes SUSE to loose points in usability versus other OSes. BTW: is not meaningful to use `p` for restart whatever it is. It make sense to put option with 2 or 3 chars that will make action intuitive to remember and use. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
