but that is not YaST
Indeed it is not, and neither is it sensible for updating.
it certainly is, and is the *most* sensible. how can you even say it is not sensible when you didn't even know about it or didn't consider it first?
What makes you think I didn't know about it? Or that I didn't consider it? That command only updates one package, which is not what I was trying to do, and so is not sensible for the purpose. But I don't want to use the CLI. YaST is one of the best parts of openSUSE IMHO, and I want to use that for the purposes it is designed for. But in this case I believe that YaST's behaviour could be improved (flag that the auto-selected packages are actually recommendations; offer a choice to not install the recommendations rather than aborting the update or accepting the recommendation) and certainly its documentation leaves room for improvement. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
