NOTE
Because language-specific packages may depend on other packages, the package
manager may select additional packages for installation.
Packages and Installation Sources
If you want to find only packages from the specific source, use the Installation Sources
filter. In the default configuration, this filter shows a list of all packages from the selected
source. To restrict the list, use a secondary filter.
To view a list of the all installed packages from the selected installation source, select
the filter Installation Sources then select Installation Summary from Secondary Filters
and deactivate all check boxes except Keep.
The package status in the individual package window can be changed as usual. However,
the changed package may no longer meet the search criteria. To remove such packages
from the list, update the list with Update List.
Installing Source Packages
A package containing the source files for the program is usually available. The sources
are not needed for running the program, but you may want to install the sources to
compile a custom version of the program.
To install sources for selected program, mark the check box in the Source column. If
you cannot see a check box, your installation sources do not contain the source of the
package.
Removing Packages
To remove packages, assign the correct status to the packages to remove and click Ac-
cept. Selected packages should have the Delete status. If a package required by other
installed packages is marked for deletion, the package manager issues an alert with
detailed information and alternative solutions.
