Description Gerald Pfeifer 2009-08-31 09:40:10 UTC 
So, I figured I wanted to set up a simple NFS server and give the
YaST module a try and installed it (since it's not there by default):

  # zypper in yast2-nfs-server
  :
  The following NEW package is going to be installed:
    yast2-nfs-server

Now let's use it:

  # yast nfs-server

And up pops a dialog saying

  "These packages need to be installed: nfs-kernel-server

That is pretty confusing/frustrating for the average user.  Shouldn't
be install the latter when going for the former?

Right, we should use Recommends. I have just asked, because this pattern repeats all over yast modules. I will use Recommends.
