[Bug 456395] New: zypper si doesn't pull deps ...

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=456395 Summary: zypper si doesn't pull deps ... Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: RC 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mmeeks@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- I have a system without many of the dependencies needed to build koffice; yet when I do: $ sudo zypper si koffice Reading installed packages... Loading repository data... Resolving package dependencies... The following source package is going to be installed: koffice Overall download size: 55.1 M. After the operation, additional 55.2 M will be used. Continue? [YES/no]: no It doesn't offer to download the build dependencies [ as I would expect it to do by default - after all, what use is the source package without the build deps ;-]. It seems this is because we have the polarity of the "-D" option: [snip] sudo zypper si --help source-install (si) [options] <name> ... Install specified source packages and their build dependencies. Command options: -d, --build-deps-only Install only build dependencies of specified packages. -D, --no-build-deps Don't install build dependencies. -r, --repo Install packages only from specified repositories. [snip] backwards :-) so when I tell it not to install build deps: [snip] sudo zypper si -D koffice Loading repository data... Resolving package dependencies... The following NEW packages are going to be installed: aaa_base atk audit-libs bash bash-doc boost-license bootsplash bootsplash-branding-openSUSE branding-openSUSE bundle-lang-common-en bundle-lang-gnome-en bzip2 cairo ConsoleKit coreutils cpio cracklib cracklib-dict-full cron cups-libs cyrus-sasl dbus-1 dbus-1-glib desktop-data-openSUSE desktop-translations device-mapper dhcpcd diffutils dirmngr dosfstools dummy-release e2fsprogs elfutils file filesystem fillup findutils fontconfig freetype2 fuse gawk gconf2 gconf2-branding-openSUSE gdbm gfxboot gfxboot-branding-openSUSE glib2 glib2-branding-openSUSE glibc gnome-keyring gpg2 grep gtk2 gtk2-branding-openSUSE gtk2-engines gtk2-theme-openSUSE gvfs gvfs-backends gvfs-fuse gzip hal hicolor-icon-theme hwinfo info insserv iproute2 iwl3945-ucode keyutils-libs krb5 lcms .. [snip] I get the result I would expect by default. [ oh and -d is broken in a similar way FWIW ] Hopefully the fix is suitably trivial - and BTW - I love the feature ! Thanks guys for making 'si' work in the 1st instance. -- 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.
