Description Atri Bhattacharya 2011-03-21 21:01:29 UTC

System: Standard GNOME openSUSE 11.4 off a fresh installation

I do not need the flash-player offered by non-oss repo, and so I uninstall it and lock it in that status using yast/zypper. However every time I try installing any package using packagekit (gpk-install-local-file is the default rpm handler in openSUSE 11.4 GNOME), the flash-player is installed nonetheless. There just does not seem to be any way to prevent flash-player getting into my system if I am using Packagekit as well.

This happens despite zypper inr saying all recommended packages are installed, and using zypper to install the local rpm doing so without installing flash-player

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Uninstall and lock flash-player using yast software management
  or zypper al
2.Use gpk-install-local-file on a local rpm

Actual Results:  
License agreement for flash-player pops-up, and flash-player 
is also installed alongwith the local rpm

Expected Results:  
Just installed the package requested by the user, and leave flash-player alone

Were Atri and I the only ones to see this bug on 11.4 final?

( I've since moved on to factory)

I can confirm this bug too, kpackagekit just installed 20+ packages for me which were blocked because I did not need them.
