Thank you Walt for your response. I guess what I understand is not what you
mean to say since doing what I understand you to be saying does not cause a
status change that sticks from one execution of YaST to the next.
Here is the process of what I do and the results. Using the GUI I execute YaST.
I then select "Install and Remove Software" and enter "wine"
as the search
target. Performing that search shows me wine with a status of "Keep"
and with
an Avail. Version 20050211-4 and with an Installed Version 0.9.7-0.1. I change
the status from "Keep" to "Protected -- Do Not Modify." I
then click "Accept",
"Finish", and "Close" in succession. When I again execute
YaST, select "Install
and Remove Software", enter "wine" as the search target, and
perform that
search then I see that wine is again set to "Keep" instead of
"Protected -- Do
Not Modify."
As I understand it wine is not protected from YOU which would "update"
wine if
I did not specifically tell it each time that wine is Protected.
Please tell me what I'm not understanding.
