Operation Manual

By default, dependencies are automatically checked. A check is performed every time
you change a package status (for example, by marking a package for installation or re-
moval). This is generally useful, but can become exhausting when manually resolving
a dependency conict. To disable this function, uncheck Dependencies > Autocheck.
Manually perform a dependency check with Dependencies > Check Now. A consistency
check is always performed when you conrm your selection with Accept.
To review a package's dependencies, right-click it and choose Show Solver Information.
A map showing the dependencies opens. Packages that are already installed are displayed
in a green frame.
NOTE: Manually Solving Package Conicts
Unless you are very experienced, follow the suggestions YaST makes when
handling package conicts, otherwise you may not be able to resolve them.
Keep in mind that every change you make, potentially triggers other conicts,
so you can easily end up with a steadily increasing number of conicts. In case
this happens, Cancel the Software Manager, Abandon all your changes and
start again.
