Re: [Cooker] Can't use urpmi --auto-select

[Gary Walsh]

Ok, so after spending all day upgrading many packages one at a time, I 
have narrowed down the problem to two main package groups, gcc and 
python.  If I try to upgrade gcc and related packages, urpmi wants to 
uninstall OpenOffice.org.  If I try to upgrade python, urpmi wants to 
uninstall mozilla, gimp, galeon and other packages, as well as 
OpenOffice.  A lot of packages are dependent on python, especially kde 
packages.  Needless to say, I don't want OpenOffice and Mozilla 
uninstalled as these are packages that I use all of the time.

Also, I have a major problem after my marathon upgrading:  Mozilla-Mail 
can no longer create a compose window.  Mozilla is the only mua that I 
use.  This occurs with both the version of Mozilla from cooker, and the 
latest 1.4 daily which I have installed separately.  No difference under 
Gnome or KDE.  It seems that some other package that I upgraded is 
causing the problem, since I have been using the version of Mozilla on 
cooker since the middle of May.  I am typing this message on my laptop 
which has an mostly stock 9.1 on it.
