DetailsI tried to install 0.7.2 full, and noticed that package installation halts when it encounters
errors, such as udev not compatible with hotplug or pcmcia for kernel 2.4. My problem with this, as a user, is that I have to tediously try to hunt down the dependency but I would personally rather like to see this being automagically handled, and being informed upon this such as: - Disabling hotplug because udev conflicts with it - Disabling old pcmcia because udev conflicts with it The best way would be to "suggest" certain things to the user, and letting him process with his choice. It can be kept simple, yes, but as a relatively unexperienced user this aborting of installation right now when it encounters an error is a little tedious, and should be considered for change. I gave the severity a "very low" because it seems more a small design approach during installation, thus not really that important. |
