Unfortunately in contrast to rpm, zypper has no option --nodeps and I found no other working option (tried -n install --force). I need to use zypper to access a remote repo where the forwarder resides. <BR /> Thanks -Gerd</P> Tue, 25 Feb 2020 15:44:32 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/Does-deleting-or-modifying-license-pool-cause-any-loss-of-data/m-p/381026#M5215 graether 2020-02-25T15:44:32Z
