People on the Spanish list are complaining that they are getting this update automatically without warning, and they don't want anything "microsoftish" on their systems.
I'll try to convince them to fill a bugzilla, but I'm not sure if they will.
Have them check to see if the pullin-msttf-fonts package is installed. I had noticed that on my 11.1 install the package was there waiting for YOU update to be available.
Well, that's precisely what they are complaining about!
The package is automatically selected to be installed, and they do not want it, because it install Microsoft "things".
Not _is_ Carlos, _was_ installed originally, waiting for the update to be made available, now the script _is_ available to get the fonts installed. Sorry about the semantics argument, but I just want to make my point clear. Have anyone who has not done the update to uninstall it in YaST. Mike@P-733-Lin:/usr/share/doc/packages/pullin-msttf-fonts> ls README The contents of the README file: This README is the only content of this package. The only use of this package is to trigger an online update that pulls in the real package for installing the Microsoft True Type Fonts. And it looks like Novell is using this strategy for a few other things: Mike@P-733-Lin:/usr/share/doc/packages> ls pull* pullin-flash-player: README pullin-fluendo-mp3: README pullin-msttf-fonts: README Looking in YaST, I see that all of these packages create the directory and install the README files. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
