I should clarify that --allow-force and --allow-nodeps does not
automatically install without checking dependencies or force an install.
Actually it does! check all the aliases to find out where Mdk does all the handholding.
Thatway you'll find out why "rm -r xxx" is a PITA on mdk:o)
"rm -f xxx" solves that BTW or change the aliases. If you don't know how.......don't!!!
That's another one up for the mandrakians:o)
Good luck, HarM
I'm aware of the safety net implemented for the rm command, but what does this have to do with what I said? --allow-nodeps whether an alias or a true option passed to urpmi does indeed ask you before it does its business. The same with --allow-force.
See "man urpmi":
"--allow-nodeps
Allow urpmi to ask user to continue installation using no depen-
dencies checking due to error. By default urpmi exit immediately
in such case.
--allow-force
Allow urpmi to ask user to continue installation using no depen-
dencies checking or forced installation due to error. By default
urpmi exit immediately in such case."
Alias or not, these are the actions of those options.
