that's never a sensible answer to a request: just say 'No' next time, when there's a real justification. > I don't want rpmdrake to reach the same level of complexity > than the previous rpmdrake. understood, but all that is needed is a small feature in Software Install to add a flag 'already installed' to the search result. you say you don't want to worry beginners, but it's exactly beginners who will find the present division difficult: they see a program referred to somewhere & want to know if it's in Mdk 9.0, so they open up Mdk Software Install & do a search for it: if (as now) it simply says 'none', they may not realise it's already installed. > Maybe the time will be reached to use a --expert option on commandline, > but I'll be inflexible on the UI of the default rpmdrake. 'inflexible' was the dying word of the dinosaurs ...
