--- Comment #21 from Michael Andres
Created an attachment (id=333744) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=333744) [details] questionable suggestion for package dependency resolutions
According to the testcase you sent: on Thu Apr 2 2009 you installed NetworkManager-glib-0.7.0.r4359-15.2.2 i586 and x86_64 at the same time (manually using 'rpm -i'? zypper/yast would not have done this.). That's what now causes some confusion. I hope you took Solution 2: architecture change of NetworkManager-glib-0.7.0.r4359-15.2.2.i586 to NetworkManager-glib-0.7.1_git20090811-4.2.x86_64 So NetworkManager-glib is now again installed only once.
I find it suspect that dependency resolution for software components like "Advanced Packaging Tool" and "Boost" causes so many unexpected difficulties.
The problem mostly arises from the fact that there is no repo with apt packages for 11.2. The packages were AFAIK dropped. If you'd disable the 11.1 repos and perform a zypper dup, the solver will probably consider those packages being orphaned, and suggest to delete them if they cause trouble. But keeping them on your system you maintain a small "11.1 environment" for them. This is what causes the problems. It's not the software, but the fact that it's old (compared to your system). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
