Prefer to use zypper for updates, as yast is much too interactive and slower, and I like to defer installs until I have time to watch the progress. However, a couple times I've got a message after everything was downloaded about files in use being deleted during downloads, typically when drpms are being downloaded. zypper ps confirms that files in use were deleted. It's not documented in the manpage or other docs I've found but it appears that "download-only" switch for update does not always download only. For example, drpms are never only downloaded. I'm wondering if there's another switch to tell zypper that, "Yes, I Am Absolutely Certain I Want To Only Download And Not Install Or Delete Any Files At All Positively And Definitely So Don't Assume I Want Any Files Deleted Or Ask Again And By The Way, Only Download DRPMS. Do Nothing Else." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
