I agree. But Henne makes a good point too, and I have no doubt that many, many users will be very unhappy if "upgrade all"-behaviour is made more difficult for them - even if it is for their own good ;-) Many already want it to be even easier than now - for example by opensuseupdater supporting it. Maybe it could be possible to have two options. Only do semi-automatic updates from same vendor (default) and Do semi-automatic upgrade of any package where newer version is avaialable, (break-my-SUSE) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
