I'd like to point out that slowness of the package manager was one of the top complaints about pre-zypp era ;-) > > These are the reasons why I don't use YAST package manager: > - YAST package manager is extremely slow. > - Furthermore why does it have to refresh all repositories if you > want only remove or check something? Remove - see the discussion in the archive. Basically, removing something might mean installing something else. Check - this is way to unspecific.
