Seems like a reasonable suggestion. Thanks for the request. sorry about the tone of the original bug report... anyway, i wanted to explain that multiple dialog pops could happen in a number of ways... some are obvious, while others probably won't happen too often. 1) if there are files remaining when a package upgrade expects them to be gone, one gets a complaint per file or directory. 2) in packages gotten off the net, sometimes the user is left as the creator's user id. then one gets a complaint about the user not existing for every item in the package. 3) my recent install was troubled by very low disk space. in addition to whacking numerous packages with gnorpm, i also did a bad thing by deleting a few whole hierarchies of man pages and stuff. this caused hundreds of the dialogs. i know that's bad, but i was desperate to finish the install and provide enough disk space for it to complete, plus this is a very slow system which is painful to delete multiple packages from using gnorpm. so these are a few of the ways i've seen many dialogs appear. hope this makes it seem slightly more useful to do the bug window suggestion... i know i would appreciate it a great deal, but i think others might also. thanks... -fred In order to get the developers and maintainers of GnoRPM to look at this bug I have moved it to the GnoRPM category in the Gnome bug tracker.
