That's is one of the reasons I don't like YaST package manager. The other one is a very strange way of updating the stuff and the inability to set priorities.

For the rest I think apt is much better. -- Best regards, Alexander. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
