possible to install programs without performing update first?

Sebastian

Did Solus change the way the software-center / eopkg behaves?
In my memory it was possible previously to decide against the update for now and install new programs anyway.
This does not seem to be possible anymore. So am I just remembering something wrong here or did something change?

Above all, is there (still) a way to skip the update for now and install new software anyway?

Eopkg now checks for other packages that rely on the same dependencies as the package you're installing, and will update those as well. Otherwise it's highly likely that those other apps will break. If you install something that shares no dependencies with anything else the behaviour should be the same as before.
There is an option to skip this check when using eopkg from CLI (--ignore-revdeps-of-deps-check), but it's inadvisable for the above reason.
