Description Per Jessen 2016-08-07 17:54:41 UTC

Initially I'm certain I saw something like "Pattern:  yast2 selected", but after deselecting grub2 and maybe one or two other things, suddenly no yast2 modules were selected.

This appears to happen when I deselect grub2.

Comment 2 Per Jessen 2016-08-07 18:04:28 UTC

Correction, by de/selecting "ruby2.1-rubygem-cfa_grub2" , "Patterns: YaST System Administration" is also automagically de/selected.

Well it seems that you removed one of dependencies of this pattern - deselecting patttern if its dependencies are deselected is if I recall correctly default and intended behavior for quiete some time.

Please elaborate why do you think that this is a bug.

Deselecting "ruby2.1-rubygem-cfa_grub2" which appears to be grub2 related should not cause deselection of the Yast System Administration pattern.  I don't use grub2 in this xen guest, so deselecting it make sense.

It's directly required by yast2-bootloader.

You could try to redesign yast2-bootloader and split off specific bootloader type support in subpackages like yast2-bootloader-grub2 but since y2-bl supports _only_ grub2, this seems a bit over-engineered to me.

I think it's ok to live with the fact that y2-bl has the ability to read configs of bootloaders that aren't installed.
