From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0 Description of problem: When doing an upgrade from one RH version to another, if one selects to view the packages you see a list of rpms that can either be checked or unchecked. Checked rpms are the ones that anaconda will upgrade to bring you to the new version. There is, however, no way to distinguish between packages that are not installed and packages that are installed but not being upgraded. It would be good to have some indicator of what rpms are already installed but not being upgraded. An example would be something like this - [X] nmap <--- Package being installed/upgraded [ ] iptables <--- Package not installed [#] snort <--- Package currentlly installed but not needing upgrade I hope this makes sense. Please email me if further clarification is needed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start an upgrade (i.e. 7.3 to 8.0) 2. Choose to view all packages 3. You will see that any package only has two states and that there's no easy way to tell if an unselected package is not installed or mearly not in need of upgrading Additional info: This is something that would really be helpfull for those of us who have been upgrading systems since RH 2.1. :-)
This isn't a concern with our current interface.
