I don't believe in this features, since all available docs tells me there is no such feature ;-). # urpmi --help 2>&1|grep skip # bzcat /usr/share/man/man8/urpmi.8.bz2 |grep skip .FN /etc/urpmi/skip.list Of course, I think Adam was looking for a message: "The following packages have to be removed for others to be upgraded: evolution-1.4.3-1mdk.i586 (due to missing libcom_err.so.3), or you can upgrade (U) all packages which won't force uninstallation of other packages (y/n/U)" After having had to get into a habit of reinstalling removed software, IMHO it would be nice if this were the default when --auto-select - --auto, overridden by something like --allow-remove.
