The following package is going to be REMOVED: libopenssl0_9_8
35 new packages to install, 1 to remove. Overall download size: 70.8 MiB. After the operation, additional 244.2 MiB will be used.
Why on earth are all these packages being _installed_ when I'm trying to _remove_ one (which I wrongly installed earlier this morning) ? In particular, a package such as 'acroread' make little sense, as this box has at most a text-only console.
Easy. You are deinstalling libopenssl0_9_8 but something requires either libcrypto.so.0.9.8 or libssl.so.0.9.8 There is one other package providing both of these, which is "acroread" (it actually should not do so, but well) So zypper thinks it should install acroread to fulfil stability, and that in turn pulls in the other stuff. Try: rpm -e libopenssl0_9_8 to see what requires it. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
