I appreciate that some issues are not specifically "opensuse's" but is there a way to set Yast to complete the installation of packages which have been downloaded successfully and ignore any failed downloads. That is one of the main things that irritate me. Yast did not use to work that way, and as long as Yast reports failures that should be adequate. There is no need to block installation of those packages which have been successfully downloaded. I think it is a feature, some installs can not be done unless all the

If that were the case then I wouldn't mind but I don't think so. I had forty plus updates and because get_iplayer failed not one of the others were installed even though they downloaded successfully. That to me is just plain silly (or bad programming/design). I've noticed it before and had to go back and deselect the failed package in order to get the rest to install. Having deselected the failed package all the others get installed. So why can't YaST just install the others and report the failed ones; that's what I don't understand. Anyway, rather than debate the wisdom or folly of such a design, I was just wondering if there was an option somewhere that would allow for packages that had been successfully downloaded to be installed whether or not there were failed downloads. (I can understand and it makes sense when there are failed dependencies or system-critical packages but not a wholesale block on installations regardless of how trivial the failed packages are. Hey, but then again, maybe I am wrong and Carlos, you are correct.). Thanks Eddie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
