The proposal for fixing is to disable recommends for the solver when YOU is looking for the restart_needed patches (so YOU is able to install maintenance stack updates first with a minimal set of packages).

Then the flag for installing recommends should be enabled for the rest of patches.

You mean package management flag, not restart_needed. Do you think the disabling should (and could) be done on ycp level before the solver call or does (will) PkgSolve accept any parameter that will cause ignoring recommends during solving? -- 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.

The solver flags must be set permanently. I just have added two Pkg functions: map Pkg::GetSolverFlags() - get the current solver flags boolean Pkg::SetSolverFlags(map) - set solver flags (Pkg::Solve() has been removed, it was equal to: backup = Pkg::GetSolverFlags(), Pkg::SetSolverFlags(requested), Pkg::PkgSolve() and Pkg::SetSolverFlags(backup).) Sumbitted in yast2-pkg-bindings-2.17.31. Jiri, the yast workflow should be: 1. Pkg::PkgApplReset() - ensure that there are no transactions set accidentally by previous solver run 2. backup = Pkg::GetSolverFlags() - remember the current solver flags 3. Pkg::SetSolverFlags($["ignoreAlreadyRecommended":true, "onlyRequires":true]) - disable recommends 4. Pkg::PkgSolve() - compute needed patches 5. Pkg::ResolvableCountPatches(`pkg_mgr) - get number of patches for the package management if (patches_count > 0) A1. select `pkg_mgr patches A2. start the packager UI A3. commit the pending transactions (install the selected patches) A4. restart Yast (and goto 1.) else B1. Pkg::SetSolverFlags(backup) - restore the original solver settings - enable recommends B2. Pkg::PkgSolve() - compute needed patches (incl. recommends) B3. Pkg::ResolvableCountPatches(`all) - get number of applicable patches B4. continue the installation workflow if there is no applicable patch B5. select the patches B6. start the packager UI B7. commit the pending transactions (install the selected patches) B8. continue the installation workflow (I hope I didn't forget something...) -- 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.
