Thanks Karl for the reply. I'll post the issue here first.
I'm running into a major issue that makes it really hard for me to use openSUSE. I need to install an additional interface language on my system apart from English, and there is apparently a very good YAST module for this. However, it doesn't actually install the relevant `-lang` packages because it depends on the zypper package recommends, which I have disabled. I tried re-enabling it and re-enabling the language I want, but it only installs a few spellcheck dictionaries and Firefox language packs, but not the profusion of `-lang` packages that I need for each and every GUI app. Then I tried doing a `zypper install-new-recommends`, but I aborted because it wanted to install a whopping 715 new packages for a grand total on the disk of well over **1GB**!!!
I don't really think that the package recommends system is the right tool for installing `-lang` packages for a given language.
Or is there any workaround I can use or some hidden zypp(er) setting that will make it only heed `-lang` recommends and none of the others?
Thanks for any insight.
Did you try YaST -> Software -> Software Management -> View -> Languages and select the appropriate language. You should get a list of packages containing the localization for that language. You can enable or disable required or unwanted packages. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-translation+owner@opensuse.org
