I worry it is caused by fact that text is adapted to zypper message and not yast one. (In reply to Josef Reidinger from comment #1) > I worry it is caused by fact that text is adapted to zypper message and not > yast one. On the command line (running "zypper dup", it looks as follows, which isn't any better: [CUT] Please click "Accept" if you accept the risks that may come with the installation of this driver. Choose "Cancel" to prevent installation of the driver and use software emulation instead. Do you agree with the terms of the license? [yes/no] (no): [CUT] AFAIK those messages come from the repo, i.e. libzypp. The intention was that they should really be license agreements, not generic disclaimers of any kind that require arbitrary answers. So I fear for this particular example, somebody took that too far and really misused the mechanism to also present Yet Another Disclaimers That All Users Hate (YADTAUH) and at the same time went overboard with the message. IMHO the message (if it is needed at all, but that's not for us, the YaST team, to decide) needs to be reworded to fit into the existing user interfaces. There is just no way that we can handle arbitrary texts with arbitrary possible answers. It was meant for licenses, so the wording in YaST was - after a very long discussion with involved stakeholders - chosen [I Agree] [I Disagree] to avoid any slightest chance of misunderstanding - which is not always the case with just "yes" or "no". So IMHO this needs to be changed by the maintainers of that package to fit into that scheme. Misusing such a facility DOES come at a price. ;-) Could be that we misused this mechanism. I could adjust the text if I would know, where to find the text. Looks like it's outside of the buildservice. It's not inside the Mesa package sources. :-( Must be some magic during image build ... Created pull request. https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-EULAs/pull/6 Sooner or later the pull request will be accepted and openSUSE-EULAs package updated in TW. Therefore closing as fixed. More likely later, Merged.
