[Bug 341571] New: Remove repository scanning if language pkgs are already installed
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=341571#c335246 Summary: Remove repository scanning if language pkgs are already installed Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: jsuchome@novell.com ReportedBy: kmachalkova@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- I came across this issue when testing a fix for bug #335246. How to reproduce: * Run 'yast language' * Select some not-yet-installed language e.g. Hungarian * See all the annoying repository scanning popups, then related language packages get installed (ok, this time it is necessary) * Run 'yast language' again, and switch back to some already-installed language e.g. Czech * Now see all the annoying repository scanning popups again, but nothing new gets installed this time (why so, if everything needed for this language is already there) Please, add some check if required packages are already installed and if yes, do not run repository scanning. If the user has configured many repositories, it is very time-consuming and completely useless step, provided that (s)he only wants to switch the locale. -- 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.

if user in "yast2 language" module removes a language from a list of secondary languages, should the packages with a language support for it be removed as well?
Btw, it was primary language I decided to switch, not a secondary one (I kept english there) -- 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 know, but your original primary language was removed from the list of secondary ones (unless you've added it again), so the final list was reduced. -- 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.

According to Schubi there are several fate entries requesting this or similar behavior. But by now there is no flag telling the solver to detect or remove 'superfluous' dependent packages.
I'm not sure if I understand. It is a) we don't have even a fate entry requesting such feature. or b) this is already covered by fate number...

For #1: Yes, I think the user expects the packages to be removed.
We are not able to do it now. Should I wait for an implementation of this feature or remove the part for packages removal for 11.0? -- 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.
