This happens for example with the openSUSE:Maintenance:352 patch that is currently available in the 12.1 update-test repo. # zypper lp # shortened to relevant parts Repository | Name | Version | Category | Status | Summary ------------+--------------------------+---------+-------------+--------+----------------------------------- update-test | openSUSE:Maintenance:352 | 1 | security | needed | update for expat # zypper in -t patch openSUSE:Maintenance:352 Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Warning: Different package type specified in '--type' option and 'openSUSE:Maintenance:352' argument. Will use the latter. 'openSUSE:Maintenance:352' not found in package names. Trying capabilities. No provider of 'openSUSE:Maintenance:352' found. Resolving package dependencies... Nothing to do. The "Will use the latter" in the warning message obviously is a very bad idea. zypper should check if a patch with exactly the given name exists before guessing that "openSUSE:" is a type prefix. I'm not attaching a log because a) zypper itsself admits the behaviour in the warning message and b) the warning message should be easily grep'able in the code BTW: This reminds me to bug 640399 - even if this is a different issue, the workaround mentioned there ("zypper in patch:openSUSE:Maintenance:352") still works. -- 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.
