#1425 Package Tree doesn't show all packages
Just wanted to get an overview about installed
packages for providing a deinstallation list of all
unnecessary packages and found that the package tree
only provides a small subset of the actually installed
applications, f.i. most daemons are missing. Just look for
apache or sshd, it's not in the tree but found with a
search. Is that intended? If so, why and what's the deal
here? I expect to get a list of all packages in there.
Checked on Suse 9.0 and 8.1 with Webmin 1.11 and
1.12.

The package tree should show all packages, assuming that you open it up
fully..
If you search for one of these missing packages, what Class is does it have
on the Edit Package page?

Ok, then there's definitely something wrong, at least on Suse.
Examples: apache shows as class
Productivity/Networking/Web/Servers. The Package Tree has
these root folders: Applications, Documentation, Hardware,
Public Keys and System. "Applications" contains only ONE
application (which I installed from external, so Suse doesn't
seem to put anything there). From searching a bit there are
at least these other root folders: Productivity, Amusements,
Development, with "Productivity" containing most of
the "good stuff". BTW: would be nice to have an
option "show all packages alphabetically" and "output to a
text file" (preferably so that one gets the exact name of the
rpm).

Since I don't run SuSE myself, would it be possible for you to run
rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{NAME}\n%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}\n%
{GROUP}\n%{SUMMARY}\n\n"
and email the output to me at jcameron@webmin.com , or attach it to this
bug report. This way I can see exactly what packages SuSE has installed,
and thus what Webmin is doing wrong.

The cause of this has been found, and it will be fixed in
the next Webmin release.

Hi Jamie, the Package Tree still doesn't list a LOT of stuff. F.i.
no apache, php, ssh, imap, sendmail, openssl to name just a
few. Are you sure you included the fix? To avoid this problem
before you can finally fix it, would it be possible to simply
have an option to list ALL packages uncategorized, just
alphabetical or maybe as a second option by size of the
package? As I understand there's something non-standard
with Suse's categorization, so if you just list all packages and
don't try to categorize them you should be able to
workaround.

Kai - could you re-run that command I posted in the comment
on 2004-01-11 below, and send the output to me again? The
output or my code may have changed ..
