Zypp won't do anything like this unless the packages express it on dependency level. -- 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.

It will checks whether the vbox graphics card is present in the system - if not we are not inside the virtualbox and we want to uninstall vbox guest rpms : [ -z "$(lspci -d 80ee:beef)" ] && rpm -e virtualbox-guest-tools virtualbox-guest-kmp-desktop virtualbox-guest-x11 2,3 NET,DVD then you have NET installation and DVD installation which are also afected by the problem with vbox-guest rpms on host machine - I didn't check them for now thanks -- 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.

So technically, I think your proposal could work. But so far, AFAIK we do not automatically delete packages, especially without warning a user. Can't we rather not install them in the first place? Or isn't there some way of marking those packages for deletion so they would be deleted next time user actually uses software management (zypper, YaST), so he can actually see what's gonna happen? (Michael, I think this second question is for you again) -- 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.

AFAIK there's no such feature. YaST GUI could do something like this, but for zypper it would be hard to tell whether this is an attended or unattended invocation. -- 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.
