I've been on the phone to a friend, trying to get rid of zmd after he complained about a slow system after boot. Deselecting the enterprise and selecting the openSUSE pattern works fine during system install, but zmd is more stubborn later. I would have expected this pattern change to have the same effect later. There was a reboot too. I assume both patterns ended up installed, so I suggested he hightlight the enterprise pattern and explicitly bin the 3 packages of it on the right side in the package list, with disastrous results. Immediately before he switched installation source from dvdrom drive to /disk/muchfaster/dvd.iso (being the obvious copy of the DVD image) in yast->installation sources. Success here. This may or may not be relevant. On clicking accept on binning the above 3 zmd-related packages, a popup complains about some violation involving product suse something. There is only one product, dvd in drive and dvd-copy on disk. Resolutions offered include cancel, ignore, delete. I told him not to delete product suse linux, and I doubt he'd have been that stupid, I suggested to cancel. Anyway, the thing then proceeds to clean out the whole system, deleting KDE and whatnot packages. Ooooops! Clicking abort, the popup offers cancel and continue. Regardless of choice, the result is keep-on-cleaning-out-the-whole-disk. Two bugs here, one very serious, one annoying. My friend's words at that point are not for polite company. He is not a stupid computer user, so whatever it is needs to be fixed. Updates as of 13 Jan were installed. I have the yast logs, but didn't see it myself. Bugzilla? The above description is about as good as I could make it. I should add that the system wasn't a clean install but an upgrade from 9.2(?), which hasn't however shown any other problems at system level.
