Comment 1 Ben McMonagle 2015-02-08 08:23:30 CET

also evident in Mageia-5-beta3-i586-DVD.iso, Thu Feb  5 23:44:06 CET 2015,
Cinnamon desktop

normally, after pressing the update button, there is a popup that advises which updates are selected, the number of packages, etc.., 
In this case, it shows that the unselected packages  will be installed. 

If no updates are selected, popup advises to select some - this is correct

The updater appears to allow cdrdao to be selected or not, and will not install if selected not to install.

Comment 2 Thierry Vignaud 2015-02-08 16:49:28 CET

rpmdrake recomputes updates when clicking "apply" so if some selected updates need unselected ones, they'll got installed anyway

Summary: M5B3 MCC does not respect user choices when applying updates => M5B3 rpmdrake does not respect user choices when applying updates

Comment 3 Thierry Vignaud 2015-02-08 17:05:27 CET

It recomputes dependencies obviously.
So more details are needed.

Comment 5 Thierry Vignaud 2015-02-10 10:31:25 CET

Can you abort updates next time you see this then run the following commands:

urpmi --bug bug15233 --auto-select
tar cfa bug15233{.tar.xz,}

Then send the bug15233.tar.xz tarball to me by email (it will be too big for bugzilla) so that I can have a look at the issue
