So this 'bug' is about zypp/zypper producing a better error message, e.g. 'libcurl-devel, providing curl-devel, is already installed' -- 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.

Output looks like you suggested. It is printed only for capabilities.

I don't thing 'zypper in' should search for capabilities, but just for packages matching the name. Going for capabilities is not what user's expect.

You would be surprised :O) e.g. bug #337007, fate #302919.

You should use some other way to switch zypper into "capability" mode.

It tries to select the package by name first, and if that fails it falls back to capability. Either modes can be forced by --name or --capability. Everything will be documented in man page and wiki, including examples. I hope most of the people will be comfortable with this :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.

But I agree with Klaus that it should be more verbose when falling back to capabilities. I don't think you really need to ask the user, though, just printing a message should be enough. -- 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.
