Description patrick shanahan 2011-09-09 13:37:50 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0.2

"zypper ps" is too verbose.  Anything repeated or not specifying a running procedure is not useful.

I propose altering "zypper ps" output to:
  zypper ps |grep -v ^\ |uniq

I have this aliased to zps in my system.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Michael Andres 2012-01-16 16:55:27 UTC

Fixed with libzypp-8.13.2 (libzypp-10.3.7 on 12.1), 
avoiding duplicate/multiple entries for the same PID.

(list of deleted files/libraries is nevertheless displayed)
