This one, I'm undecided on. Strictly, --emptytree should assume nothing is |
| 20 |
installed. In practice though, many users use it to reinstall everything. If |
| 21 |
- --emptytree does actually assume nothing is installed, users could find |
| 22 |
themselves with blocked packages overwriting each other and wonderful things |
| 23 |
like that. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Two options I see are: |
| 26 |
a) Keep current behaviour |
| 27 |
b) Make --emptytree a --pretend only option and create a new --reinstall. |
