When I launch YOU, it tells me that I have to update xine-libs and xine-ui. But I don't want to, cause my xine is not the original suse's. The current one is installed by me, and plays dvd's and stuff. If I update xine using YOU, will xine keep working the way it does now? I mean, can I go into deps problem, due to the packages installed?
How do I tell YOU to never mess with xine? I did it once, but YOU keeps telling me I have updates to install, and its icon is the red exclamation mark, not the green lizard.
YOU is Suse's update program, much like Fedora's up2date. I don't know the answer to that question myself, because when I used Fedora Core 1, I upgraded the version of Xine and added the codecs. Then up2date claimed that I needed a new version of the xine-ui, and it didn't screw anything up. I'd best just keep unchecking the box whenever it asks to update Xine.
You can set a package in YOU to "Taboo -- Never Install [!]"
In the update tool, select the update to xine, click on "YOU Patch" and select the option "Taboo -- Never Install" from the menu. Accept that and finish any other updates that you may need. That should stay marked as Taboo everytime you check for updates, but it should also let Yast2 know that it is not a necessary update and your update icon should change back to "the green lizard".
