Description Matthew Davis 2014-12-16 20:30:15 UTC
In attempting to install 'libpng' the following packages were installed.

2:libpng-devel-1.5.13-5.el7.x86_64
2:libpng-1.5.13-5.el7.x86_64
zlib-devel-1.2.7-13.el7.x86_64

Here is the relevant label & Params.

 Actions::Katello::System::Package::Install

 Params: libpng; system 'amd-client1.rhsat.rdu.salab.redhat.com'; organization 'Default_Organization' 

Expected Behaviour:

The package installer UI should do one of the following:
 - prompt the user with the package set to be installed given the input
 - have a better UI to select packages to install
 - take the exact value provided with the input box

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in product in the forseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
