So, three days ago, after a while of being too busy to update, I fired up Yast's software update module. I just did an update on everything available, went through the conflict resolution windows (many fewer than I had expected) and started it going. Nine-point-something gigabytes. Makes sense, I haven't updated in a few months. Now I have Yast minimized. Really? Three days and 9 gigabytes is still going? Do I, perhaps, have a slow connection? No, I have the fastest DSL available for my area. Yeah, it should have finished on the first day. So why is it still going? Actually, it's not. Right now, it's paused because I got tired of hitting "OK" and then "Skip". I'll tell you my mistake. Yes, some of these that I need to skip come from Contrib and Packman and common and the like, but that would annoy me MUCH less if I had waited until it was finished to try KDE. I have not had one single time in the past year or more where the packages were not updated on the server while *I* was trying to download them. I've thought about this for a while, but since I'd always wait until my update was finished, I just didn't bother because at that point I could relax and didn't want to deal with it. But what if, in that R/I/A window, we could add an option to check for updates of to-be-installed packages on the servers that are having problems? It could then pop up another window telling you what was found and what else was needed and blah blah blah for your approval. (I always approve blah blah blah, personally.) Now, here's the thing. I have 11.0. Yes, I'm slow to upgrade. I go about every other version, so a few months from now, I'm updating to 11.2. So I'm betting (hoping) someone will tell me that something like this has been added since my version. So, I'm ready. Tell me. Allay my annoyances.
