What I am supposed to do now ? are you aware you have to check your updates, especially gnome updates ???
Just to be sure: are you aware that with OBS repos, you're on your own? What we do check is installation/upgrade of stable releases + applying official updates from software.opensuse.org. All the rest is out of our scope. If you feel our tools don't work with such repos very much, this bugzilla is the place to complain/suggest how it should be, but this time it is just a broken community repository. That is between you and the maintainers of that repo and their will/spare time to do something about it. Please contact some of the maintainers directly if it's still a problem, you'll find them here: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=GNOME%3ASTABLE Log in using your bugzilla account.

Didn't it tell you there are some dependency issues before performing the update? There are always dependencies problems with yast : how can I check whenever hundred of packages are to be updated? I'm trying to force since in the most
You must expect something like this when updating so many packages from repos like gnome:stable (which is hundreds of 11.0 packages applied to 10.2 or 103). You should always check the
cases, they are false positives : yast does not handle properly all uninstallation / installations cases.
Of course, the possibilities are quite huge, we can only focus on some use cases as i mentioned above.
The simple user can easily check to activate GNOME:STABLE repository in community repositories and update from it, and hence you can't say anymore that GNOME:STABLE usage is for experimented users only!
Perhaps we can't say this, but we can say we do not support this use case. You're on your own.
I am switching now to openSUSE 11.0 to avoid this problem ... until next GNOME:STABLE update for 11.0 ?
If you want to avoid these problems, stick with the stable release. If you want new gnome packages, expect some troubles with the update. Note that i don't speak for the GNOME:STABLE maintainers, they may have other opinion on this, but i speak from the package management point of view. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
