I'd say make the buttons
[>Yes<] [ Yes to all ] [ No ] [ Help ]
and it's fine. Default Yes, but give the 'Yes to all' option.
If the user is installing several packages, it's frustrating
to have to click Yes every time. You're installing, say, 27 RPMs
which need various things. You click 'Yes to all' and let the
installer do its job.
