Summary: 'zypper rm -u' is not thorough enough when dealing with patterns Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: yoshi314@gmail.com QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: ---

A simple example to illustate the problem :

------------------------------------------------------------------

a system is installed with no kde4 related patterns.

rpm -qa |grep pattern

patterns-openSUSE-base-12.2-5.5.1.x86_64 patterns-openSUSE-enhanced_base-12.2-5.5.1.x86_64 patterns-openSUSE-fonts-12.2-5.5.1.x86_64 patterns-openSUSE-minimal_base-12.2-5.5.1.x86_64 patterns-openSUSE-sw_management-12.2-5.5.1.x86_64 patterns-openSUSE-yast2_install_wf-12.2-5.5.1.x86_64 patterns-openSUSE-yast2_basis-12.2-5.5.1.x86_64

A command to install kde4 pattern is issued :

~ # zypper in -t pattern kde4

after installation, a command to remove the same pattern is issued :

~ # zypper rm -u patterns-openSUSE-kde4

~ # rpm -qa |grep pattern

patterns-openSUSE-base-12.2-5.5.1.x86_64 patterns-openSUSE-x11-12.2-5.5.1.x86_64 patterns-openSUSE-enhanced_base-12.2-5.5.1.x86_64 patterns-openSUSE-fonts-12.2-5.5.1.x86_64 patterns-openSUSE-non_oss-12.2-5.5.1.x86_64 patterns-openSUSE-minimal_base-12.2-5.5.1.x86_64 patterns-openSUSE-x11_opt-12.2-5.5.1.x86_64 patterns-openSUSE-imaging-12.2-5.5.1.x86_64 patterns-openSUSE-sw_management-12.2-5.5.1.x86_64 patterns-openSUSE-non_oss_opt-12.2-5.5.1.x86_64 patterns-openSUSE-kde4_basis-12.2-5.5.1.x86_64 patterns-openSUSE-yast2_install_wf-12.2-5.5.1.x86_64 patterns-openSUSE-yast2_basis-12.2-5.5.1.x86_64

Some patterns remain, even though they were just installed as dependencies for kde4 pattern and should be classified as optional.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a pattern that pulls in other (not yet installed) patterns 2. Uninstall that pattern with zypper rm -u 3. Subpatterns that were installed as dependencies in 1. are still installed. Actual Results: Pulled in subpatterns remain installed

Expected Results: Pulled in subpatterns should be removed if they were not explictly installed by user and are not depended upon by some other packages
