I've just noticed an update for SUSEConnect on my Leap 42.3 box.
Why is SUSEConnect installed on a Leap machine?
Good question.

Well yes, but why is rollback-helper there as well?
I deleted both of them, we'll see what happens.
For Leap 42.3 there should be absolutely zero negative impact removing those packages - they accomplish nothing practical, just make it easier for SUSE to use & contribute to the codebase when there are less differences between SLE and openSUSE. For Leap 15.0 those packages will be useful for those Leap users who wish to use SUSE's new supported in-place migration path from Leap 15 to SLE 15 If you have no intention of migrating from Leap to SLE, then there is also no problem removing those packages from a Leap 15 machine -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
