I'm struggling to understand what does the '+' symbol mean in the zypper output search.

I have some packages that in the S field have I, others I+.

What is this + ?

For some reason my system hasn't the + in a packet X and I have problems with another packet Y. In another system where there is the + symbol this problem isn't present.

Cheers

The zypper man page answers your question:

       i+      installed by user request
       i       installed automatically (by the resolver, see section Automatically installed packages)

  • Cheers. So if I've correctly understood it if there's a plus it means I've typed zypper install packet right? – Saturnu May 10 '19 at 15:05

    Yes, I haven't verified that on every package, but I believe the man page. ;-) – eblock May 10 '19 at 15:30
