Following the announcement of the demise of YaST, I adapted my tumbleweed installation to the new setup by installing Myrlyn and Cockpit, and removing YaST:

sudo zypper rm -u yast*

However it’s already been a couple of times that when I zypper dup several yast packages get pulled in for installation.

Is this how it’s supposed to be? Or can I prevent this behaviour?

Thanks!

    And this is how I find out YaST is dead?

    What’s the point in opensuse now? Did they make any alternative?

      The announcement is part of the Leap 16 release announcement if you want to look at it.

      The alternatives are Myrlyn for package management and Cockpit for system administration.

    Its probably part of a pattern that’s getting installed. I think adding a lock (zypper al packagename) would stop it from being reinstalled

      If one wants to lock a package zypper addlock packagename is the way, yes.
