https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=388207 Summary: zypper man page has obsolete (incorrect) documentation on /etc/zypp/locks Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Factory Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: gp@novell.com QAContact: dmacvicar@novell.com Found By: Product Management Helping me debug an issue I was running into, Duncan kindly showed me the new format of /etc/zypper/locks. My original use and understanding was based on reading the zypper man page which as of yesterday and zypper-0.11.1-3 still has the original documentation, though: LOCKS The file /etc/zypp/locks can contain a list of packages to be locked. Installed packages which match one of the items in this list will not be updated or removed by the solver. Similarly, those matching pack- ages which have not yet been installed, will not be considered for installation. Empty lines and lines beginning with # are ignored. Each line is of the form "PATTERN [ OP EDITION ]" where PATTERN is a name with shell wild- cards ? and *, OP is one of < <= = >= >, and EDITION is VER- SION[-RELEASE]. Example: # Don't update the old KDE kde* < 3.5 -- 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.
