I'm perfectly willing to concede that user are *able* to understand these messages if they take the time. They probably have a college degree, assemble furniture with cryptic instructions translated from Japanese, and file their taxes every April. But what I don't concede is that they *want to* understand these messages or *will bother* to understand these messages. I see no value training up our users to understand how to import GPG keys into RPM. Our users should be spending their brain cells designing bridges and curing cancer. (And maybe buying shoes on Ebay too). Our job is to make package installation not consume those brain cells. This has all strayed off pretty far into theory-land. Maybe you can give a concrete example of a concrete case (starting with why the user is in the GUI tool to begin with) of when a user needs to be asked a yum-specific question when interacting with a GUI tool? - Owen -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
