The other day the Adobe Flash Player gave me problems and I had to uninstall it later and reinstall it. Other package managers have the option to reinstall, which is more efficient for these cases.

(So this also means that "Reinstall" is not possible when the package is updated in the repository and the old (the currently installed) version is not available anymore.) Thomas, any chance to make this trick more visible? What about adding a new action "Reinstall" to the context menu? -- 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.
