Why would install -n fail because of a license? It's not putting bits on
your disk, so there's no reason to accept the license. Perhaps it should
mention that one or more license will need explicit acceptance, and tell
the user what options to use when installing for real, but that's as far as
I'd go.
Well, it all depends on what the definition of "dry-run" is. My
interpretation is that "-n" meant "would this install normally succeed
when executed as specified?"
Another thing to keep in mind is that we've talked about dry-run
performing the download caching step and would the transfer of package
data require acceptance of the license before install could proceed or
would license acceptance be after the download phase?
