Hello all,
a few minutes ago, I did a YOU update on our SuSE Linux Enterprise Server
10 Service Pack 1 (x86_64) machines and I had to notice, that one of the
updates for the packages listed below introduced a new dependency to the
(at that time not installed) giflib package.
Why the hell do normal/regular updates at a Enterprise system introduce new
dependencies to other packages like in this case? As other Enterprise Linux
systems do, such things should be waited for the next service pack or for a
new release (e.g. SLES11) and not silently slip in with recommented or even
security updates!
