[opensuse] patterns and installed RPMs.

If I have a pattern installed, shouldn't all the packages (perhaps
except Suggested ones) be installed? For example, I have the kde4
pattern installed on an 11.2 system. As can be seen via:

zypper info -t pattern kde4

not all packages are installed:


Information for pattern kde4:

Repository: openSUSE-11.2-Oss
Name: kde4
Version: 11.2-20.22.1
Arch: i586
Vendor: openSUSE
Installed: Yes

i | samba | package |
i | kompare | package |
i | gutenprint | package |
i | konversation | package |
| kweather | package |
| mozilla-xulrunner191-kde4 | package |
| kalarm | package | Suggested
| kdebase4-wallpapers | package | Suggested
i | krdc | package |
i | krfb | package |
| speedcrunch | package |


Shouldn't packages like kweather be installed? I have not done anything
to keep it from being installed.

I see that the pattern is from the default 11.2 install. I am running
KDE from /KDE:/Release:/45/openSUSE_11.2/.

Does the pattern only get used when it is installed? If I see that there
are things not installed from a pattern, is there a command to get these
things installed? I tried updating the pattern package. But that had no
effect.



Yours sincerely,
