That's getting really off-topic. If you arguing that nobody should skip any security update, then please make a proposal to make those updates automatic and without user confirmation. If OTOH Mageia asks the user to confirm updates manually (which it currently *does*), then my request makes sense. > As has been said, you can safely remove suggested packages, so this > question about updates of suggested packages does not come up in the > first place. That's another loss of time. Why should I bother removing many packages by hand from my system? I don't lack disk space. You are requesting that I dedicate a lot of time administrating and tweaking my system. Well if I wanted to do that I'd install Debian, Gentoo or FreeBSD. There's a reason I use Mageia, which is to have a system which is user-friendly by default and doesn't ask for a lot of manual intervention. Being able to review updates without first typing a password is also part of that. Regards Antoine.
