Unfortunately, there's not much we can do in this case. There's no good way to tell the "importance" of a package and whether we can skip it and still have a reasonably sane system. You probably can't do so automatically, no. But the person doing the installation might be able to. Why not at least offer them the *option* of continuing? (with suitable warnings about a broken system) If nothing else, they could make a note of the missing RPM and install it manually later. And what about the other half of this bug report - taking down the dialog box before retrying? |
