I have a question about zypper. I find that it works very similar to apt-get/aptitude in Debian/Ubuntu or emerge in Gentoo,
Similar if a pear can be compared to apples.. yes :-D
Why does zypper work that way, in contrast to emerge and aptitude?
It is a very well known "feature", a design decision that has drawbacks and advantanges.
Also what happens when one package depends on another but one of them fails to download when the other is already installed? It looks like I can skip a package when it fails to download, but perhaps I don't want that, perhaps I want it to abort the entire installation or update?
