http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=915692 --- Comment #3 from Michael Andres --- (In reply to Jean Delvare from comment #2)

I think something is wrong in the package or repository metadata. But I have to admit I don't really understand what "applications" are supposed to be in libzypp context.

See: https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/GnomeGoals/AppDataGnomeSoftware It looks like we have trouble getting consistent data. My repos are Tumbleweed, but they suffer the same problem. The appdata.xml.gz file in the repository claims that dconf-0.22.0 will provide an application named 'dconf Editor':

<application> <name>dconf Editor</name> ... <id type="desktop">ca.desrt.dconf-editor.desktop</id>

After installation however the installed ca.desrt.dconf-editor.appdata.xml defines no more <name>, so the installed application is named after the file 'ca.desrt.dconf-editor.appdata':

# rpm -qf /usr/share/appdata/ca.desrt.dconf-editor.appdata.xml dconf-0.22.0-2.1.x86_64

# cat /usr/share/appdata/dconf-editor.appdata.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <application> <id type="desktop">ca.desrt.dconf-editor.desktop</id> ... defines no <name>

Similar for xfce4-power-manager. The installed /usr/share/appdata/xfce4-power-manager.appdata.xml defines an application named:

<name>Xfce power manager</name>

The appdata.xml.gz file in the repository however list no application being acssociated with xfce4-power-manager. The inconsistent repo metadata make the resolver assume, that updateing/reinstalling 'dconf' and 'xfce4-power-manager' will remove the requested applications. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=915692 --- Comment #5 from Michael Andres --- @Dominique: Could you please have a look at dconf/dconf-editor packages. The /usr/share/appdata/ca.desrt.dconf-editor.appdata.xml seems to be shipped with dconf, but it most probably belongs to dconf-editor as well. If the appdata.xml provides no <name>, libsolv tries to look into the .desktop file, so preferably both are in the same package. If they were (or if Jean had installed dconf-editor as well), dconf-editor.appdata.xml would have used the correct 'dconf Editor' and removal of application:'dconf Editor' should have succeeded:

# zypper rm -u -t application 'dconf Editor' Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies...

The following application is going to be REMOVED: "dconf Editor"

The following 4 packages are going to be REMOVED: dconf dconf-editor gsettings-backend-dconf libdconf1

4 packages to remove.

==== 'xfce4-power-manager' is a different story. A script extracting the application data from the package produces invalid xml and the data are rejected. That's why the appdata.xml.gz has no entry for xfce4-power-manager'. mls@ is about to fix this in the buildservice.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

nice catch - will move the appdata.xml over where it belonges (rule of thumb: the .appdata.xml file always belongs together with a .desktop file; of course their are great exceptions... but a lint check could at least warn for it - might be a follow up action to work on) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
