zypper search flash found it just fine, but when I tried to install it, and said yes to install the package, an agreement page came up, shown with less.

As far as I can tell, the only way to get out of this page is to press 'q',

Yes, i realize by now, that there is no hint for the user about what to do to quit the pager. We'll keep this bug in order to fix this. Maybe it would make sense to fix this even though the message will not be translated (too late for that), since the license texts are not available in many languages anyway :O)

which makes zypper abort with a message about the agreement not being accepted.

This has been fixed already in bug 390027.

Could it be that the keyboard buffer is not cleared after exiting less and my 'q' gets fed to zypper as well?

The problem was something with cloning the stdin for the less process. Using the same stdin as zypper solved it. I don't know the details, Josef knows more :O) -- 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.

I see, so some zypper version after openSUSE 11.0 rc1 will allow you to accept the license (or decline properly for that matter)? And this will be in the final openSUSE 11.0, right?

Yes, rc1 will have the fix (and yes, that will be in final :O), it should be even in factory right now (zypper>=0.11.3-4).

I wonder if this is one of those cases where 'more' is more :) as it quits when you get to the end. Some kind of information about how to proceed would be good, although most people using zypper from the CLI probably know this.

Yes, most of them will recognize more or less, but not all of them :O( And it's a bit of additional work to check what pager is available and display the hint accordingly, so maybe we should support only one pager (currently zypper uses less and falls back to more if less is not there).

The '-l' parameter above doesn't seem to be mentioned on the 'zypper --help' screen? Is it hidden for a reason? At least I couldn't find it in my scruteny of the options, twice over.

zypper [--]help shows global options and commands. Try 'zypper help <command>' :O) Check also man zypper and zypper wiki at opensuse.org. -- 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.
