No, you are not ;-)
It would be a minor speed improvement to first read the rpmdb and check if the to-be-removed package is actually installed.
huh ? That wasnt my point.
However, in order to ensure dependency consistency in the installed system, the dependency solver needs to get the 'whole view'.
the whole view to **delete** a package ?? wow My exact point is : AFAICS, zypper rm will **refresh** (aka. download the updated metadata) of remote installation source to delete a package... does that make sense ? I can accept that it will refresh the local metadata cache (kinda odd, but looks like the system has a whole lot of unneeded, excessive complexity behind a simple rpm -e foo :( ) so the question is: why it needs new metadata from the network to perform this operation ? o_O -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
