Why does Tumbleweed insist on reinstalling YaST? (europe.pub)

Following the announcement of the demise of YaST, I adapted my tumbleweed installation to the new setup by installing Myrlyn and Cockpit, and removing YaST:

sudo zypper rm -u yast*

However it’s already been a couple of times that when I zypper dup several yast packages get pulled in for installation.

Is this how it’s supposed to be? Or can I prevent this behaviour?

Thanks!

Its probably part of a pattern that's getting installed. I think adding a lock (zypper al packagename) would stop it from being reinstalled

@ceiron most likely because you still have a pattern installed that keeps pulling it back in
