(In reply to comment #0 from Mike Wells)

When attempting to deinstall "sudo" (YaST2->Software Management) in order to overcome the YaST2/root password/sudo security issue (bug 216796, i.e., comment #5) I am presented with a list of 20 dependency conflicts as follows;

[...]

Selecting the "keep" radio button for each of the 20 dependencies and then selecting "OK -- Try Again" (in the dependency conflict dialog) clears all of the "keep" radio buttons and I am presented with the same dependency list all over again.

This works as designed. You just told to YaST to keep everything in the old state and try again the dependencies. Its no surprise that YaST will give you exactly the same dependency list as before.

Furthermore, I am totally confused as to why the 20 pkg dependency list is presented in the first place when trying to remove "sudo" as it most certainly does not provide any of the packages listed above.

Its not there because they are providing sudo. They are there, because they (transitively) need sudo to operate correctly. If you want to remove sudo you must also remove all the other packages, otherwise they won't work. For me this bugs looks like an INVALID but reassigning to kde-maintainers to make sure sudo is really necessary for kde3. -- 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.
