Tonight I went to install beediff and bsc. After selecting the packages for install, the install then added the ATI Video Card drivers as mandatory dependancies and I couldn't delete their addition. I am happy with my setup and I don't want to install the ATI drivers, I want to install the beesoft utilities. How do I convince Yast to let me install just the beesoft utilities without it trying to force feed the ATI drivers?
Taboo the ATI drivers or remove the repositories, then just tell YaST to ignore the dependency in that case. That's what I do whenever there's a stupid dependency that I know is wrong. Example: I did a text based install, and then afterwards, I installed stuff like server stuff and kernel sources, and there were dependencies for X and Mesa. Since there was nothing I was installing that required X, I just tabooed them and selected ignore the dependencies. No idea why that happened, but it did. YaST's dependency resolution is much better, but it still needs work. Too many packages try to install stuff that you don't need or don't have hardware for(like ISDN, TV cards, etc). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
