You could try "verify system" function in YaST Software Management (i hope the 10.3 version has it).You could try "verify system" function in YaST Software Management (i hope the 10.3 version has it). No, it cannot work because this function checks only a few package set. If this function corrects that set, it'll bring regressions on other libraries not involved in the downgrading process (maybe you may even be blocked by dependencies). More safer and faster : a 10.3 format and complete reinstallation. But whenever you spend hours to build a development environment, this solution can't be a way.
As for this bug, what is it you want us to be fixed here? The object of the bug report is the updater applet functionality. I have no more security notifications, but I got a simple yellow triangle.
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 cases, they are false positives : yast does not handle properly all uninstallation / installations cases.
What repositories did you use? GNOME:STABLE. This repository is also a nightmare dependencies, since there is always some applications not updated together with the updated libraries set. For example, an update can easily break evolution, ekiga, control-center2 ... just because they have not been build at the same time. This should your job to check that.
The last GNOME:STABLE update for 10.2 was even not applicable because of conflicts with whole KDE3 ! 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! I am switching now to openSUSE 11.0 to avoid this problem ... until next GNOME:STABLE update for 11.0 ? -- 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.
