Description of Problem: If up2date is configured to not install packages after downloading them, then an unresolved dependency should not be a fatal error - the packages should still be downloaded. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.0-7.x.37 How Reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a package that depends on a particular version of a RedHat-supplied package. 2. Run up2date-config, and set it to only download packages, not install them. 3. Run up2date and select to update the package that the external package depends on. Actual Results: An unresolved dependencies dialog appears, and it is impossible to continue with the download. Expected Results: A warning should be shown, but the user should have the option to download the package anyway. Additional Information:
For the time being, this is "working as designed". Basically, the intention is that up2date only installs/fetches package sets if they can be installed correctly. Downloading a partial set of packages cant provide that guarantee. It could be argued that up2date should let you download only any given package regardless of what dep errors it might cause. We'll take a look at maybe changing that spec and possiblly adding the ability to support that mode of operations
A couple people have asked for the ability to directly download a package or packages even if it cant be installed properly, so marking this as an request for enhancement.
added in 3.1.35
