Show Automatic Package Changes & Repository Dependency
Jan 31st 2013, 21:30

Hi,

I'm new in SLES 11 SP1. I'm trying to understand how "Extras+Show Automatic Package Changes" works in Yast / Software management. Please someone could help me about it?


I've read:
"To install packages, select packages for installation and click Accept. Selected packages should have the Install status icon . The package manager automatically checks the dependencies and selects any other required packages (resolution of dependencies). To view other packages required for installation before clicking Accept, choose Extras+Show Automatic Package Changes from the main menu."

In particular I have following doubts:

How are calculated the packages showed in this list?
How can I see what other(s) package(s) are the reason of the dependency?

I've notice that there is a dependency between the repositories enabled and the list of showed packages. Is this normal?
How can I see all these packages dependencies even though if I don't have included the repositories where these packages can be found?

Thank you in advance
