Feature changed by: Christoph Thiel (cthiel1) Feature #306526, revision 7 Title: Pull needed dependencies when installing from a local file openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important + Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Piotrek Juzwiak (benderbendingrodriguez) Description: It would be great if it would be possible for YaST? to install any necessary packages when installing something from a local file. For example: VirtualBox rpm package needs pam-devel which would have to be installed by invoking YaST first (not everyone knows what to do when they encounter a message saying that they're missing a dependency). So it would be great for YaST to pull the needed dependency or say that they are not available. This would simplify installation of many packages for new users. Discussion: #1: Mariusz Fik (fisiu) (2009-06-17 13:27:07) Zypper can do that. Just install local package by: zypper in ~/path/to/some.rpm #2: Piotrek Juzwiak (benderbendingrodriguez) (2009-06-17 17:22:31) I don't mean by opening the file from a console, i mean the GUI way when someone clicks the file. Do you thin a new user would know how to open a terminal and additionally know zypper?? #3: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2009-07-10 12:05:42) I agree, GUI install and "zypper in" should have the same semantics. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306526
