https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=483426 Summary: zypper really needs to be able to be more flexible Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jnelson-suse@jamponi.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009012700 SUSE/3.0.6-0.1.2 Firefox/3.0.6 While trying to help with bug 440101 I had to install a bunch of rpms by hand from factory. When I was done with that, I tried to revert back to the versions for openSUSE 11.1, using the already-configured repositories for 11.1 (+ Update + a number of others). zypper in -f libzypp yast2-qt-pkg satsolver-tools yast2-pkg-bindings libqdialogsolver1 zypper yast2-ncurses-pkg aria2 yast2-ncurses yast2-libyui libreadline6 Loading repository data...

I don't care if that exact version is available, I want the best-available version. Even --force-resolution doesn't help here. Also, how does --repo differ from --from: -r, --repo Install packages only from the specified repository. -t, --type <type> Type of package (package, patch, pattern, product). Default: package. -n, --name Select packages by plain name, not by capability. -C, --capability Select packages by capability. -f, --force Install even if the item is already installed (reinstall). -l, --auto-agree-with-licenses Automatically say 'yes' to third party license confirmation prompt. See 'man zypper' for more details. --debug-solver Create solver test case for debugging. --no-recommends Do not install recommended packages, only required. -R, --no-force-resolution Do not force the solver to find solution, let it ask. --force-resolution Force the solver to find a solution (even an agressive). -D, --dry-run Test the installation, do not actually install. --from Select packages only from specified repository. Do you want the generated solver test case? Otherwise it's probably really easy - grab a package from factory, install it, and then try to get zypper to re-install it using the best-available version.
