What does actually happen if the user tries to update a "complete" installation (KDE, Gnome, Develoment environment, XML+SGML packages) with a small medium such as a KDE only CD that lacks Gnome and for example a perl module? Does yast uninstall the Gnome packages? Does it uninstall the old perl module depending 5.8.0, say, if now only perl 5.10.0 will be available? Jiri, can you answer these questions or assign them to somebody else, please? -- 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.

Well, it depends. YaST allows to select whether you want to keep or remove "unsupported" packages, which means packages which do not exist on the new media. So, YaST may uninstall such packages.

Such an option used to exist, but on 11.0 I cannot find it any longer. That's why I'm asking ;-) At least, in the ncurses front-end I do not see it.

Keeping packages which require different version of base libraries, which had been updated, does not make much sense IMHO.

Yes, I think the same. -- 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.

So I'll basically warn and recommend to use an installation medium (plus repositories) that covers the actual installation as good as possible. -- 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.
