This seems to happen when I disable the SuSEfirewall. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Per, I'll take an educated guess. When systems were significantly slower, an unexplained _X_ number of installation minutes spent silently 'grinding away' at checking dependencies likely caused some alarm ('Is it locked up? Is the hard drive light flashing?' and so on,) particularly in stressed out and impatient systems administrators. The authors probably inserted this informative (non-native English language) dialogue to explain the delay. In effect, it says 'The software installation queue was ready to process but the user has made a change. It needs to be checked again for consistency. Press OK to proceed.' Sound plausible to you?

Hi Carl, not really - I always disabled the firewall, but I have not seen this message until now. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.4°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Okay, I tried. :-) Maybe it's a new feature in 12.3? Possibly a newly logged installation process 'milestone'? Something useful in diagnosing failed / broken installations? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Are we talking about the initial install of the OS, or when upgrading packages etc? On initial install you can press escape and see the detailed messages screaming by. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I have. I don't remember what caused it on my case, but certain changes trigger a change of the software proposal. I don't remember right now if previous versions required me to press enter or not, but I do remember the message and the delay while calculating the change. That message or a very similar one. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
