Yes some. It will look like this:
Well, that looks way more verbose =)
PAKFIRE UPGR: We are going to install all packages listedabove. PAKFIRE INFO: Is this okay? [y/N]
--> Shouldn't the default be Yes?
Why?
Cause you would normally want to install the new packages? And maybe IPFire relies on the new versions? (I don't know how this is supposed to work)
You are not asked if you want to install the core update. That will always happen. This is just for the add-on packages. Of course you would want to install them indeed.
I basically thought that "n" is the safe option here and this is usually the default. How do other package managers do this? I would like this to be equal for better user experience. Once you are used to these things... you know?
I can't recall any other software where some situation like this would occur.
In which cases would a user want to _NOT_ install some packages? What is more likely: A newbie that would need this or some advanced user?
