This seems to happen when I disable the SuSEfirewall.
Hi Per,
I'll take an educated guess. When systems were significantly slower, an unexplained _X_ number of installation minutes spent silently 'grinding away' at checking dependencies likely caused some alarm ('Is it locked up? Is the hard drive light flashing?' and so on,) particularly in stressed out and impatient systems administrators. The authors probably inserted this informative (non-native English language) dialogue to explain the delay. In effect, it says 'The software installation queue was ready to process but the user has made a change. It needs to be checked again for consistency. Press OK to proceed.'
Sound plausible to you?
Hi Carl, not really - I always disabled the firewall, but I have not seen this message until now.
Okay, I tried. :-) Maybe it's a new feature in 12.3? Possibly a newly logged installation process 'milestone'? Something useful in diagnosing failed / broken installations? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
