First, I understand what you are saying and what you are saying makes
sense. But let me say again GNOME was disabled presumably by removing
gnome-sessions by the Add/Remove program and no confirmation was asked
for. I would never agree with such a action. By the way that part of the
interface is somewhat confusing to me but I am sure I never confirmed a
removal of GNOME. So there must be a bug somewhere in the program.
Perhaps you ran into the timeout after the prompt. The timeout for the
prompt on dependency list has been removed and a prompt would stay on
forever till you confirm it in the latest update.
Now I must apologize to you for disagreeing when you indicated there was
a bug in the yum-updatesd program I figure you mean that it does not do
automatic updates. I have an aversion to automatic updates. My statement
it works when you send the notification to dbus and you get a balloon
that says that updates are available and you can choose which to
update.
Am I correct in this analysis?
Yes. Thats different from automatic updates. You can indeed configure in
to do that but thats not the default and due to a bug that is not
working well for many users.
I find FC6 a little over-engineered. The yum-updatesd is a little too
clever for its own good. The old way with a simple crontab entry was
more direct and did the job.
It doesnt work well for desktop notifications. A better understanding of
the goals would help understand why the change would be made. I dont
quite understand why you feel its overengineered or too clever. Sure the
implementation wasnt perfect but thats a different thing.
Just let us say I am extremely frustrated by my current experiences like
GNOME disappearing and I may be over reacting.
Appears so.
