snapper-zypp-plugin takes much cpu time while not using btrfs, so I'd like to block installation of this packet, but right now "zypper dup" always tries to pick it up again (while "zypper up" doesn't!!).

how can I block an RPM from being installed ?

zypper al snapper-zypp-plugin

what triggers installation of snapper-zypp-plugin in "dup" mode ?

zypper se --recommends snapper-zypp-plugin S | Name | Summary | Type --+---------+-----------------------------------------+-------- i | snapper | Tool for filesystem snapshot management | package

(so, having snapper installed triggers the installation of the zypp-plugin)

or just speed up 'snapper-zypp-plugin' for non-btrfs installations ;-)

I'd say that's the real bug: if there is no btrfs, there is no need to snapshot - the plugin should realize that early on and not do work -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
