Last night on a new install we tried to download ALSA and Yast instisted on downloading with it open offie pluggins. Today my laptop again decided that it doesn't know it has any packages loaded and is loading now half the base system including a completely uneeded cpio and reloading a bunch of X11 components I don't need in order to download firefox which suddenly stopped working. Can someone explain the changes to yast and how come rpm can't seem to find anything in its database any longer? Why can't I deny to load files that yast believes are dependencies which aren't. Its completely locked in now.
