[opensuse-factory] Some remarks and questions regarding current factory
Hello,
when updating my 10.2 system to factory using "zypper dup" I noticed a
few things:
- Most things worked very nice!
- Some packages are still named 10.3.1 instead of 11.0 and the devs
package is still in the 10.2 version.
rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME} %{DISTRIBUTION}\n' | grep -v "openSUSE 11.0"
libmusicbrainz4 openSUSE 10.3.1 (i586)
perl-DBD-SQLite openSUSE 10.3.1 (i586)
ocrad openSUSE 10.3.1 (i586)
kdevelop3 openSUSE 10.3.1 (i586)
yast2-schema openSUSE 10.3.1 (i586)
libqtpod openSUSE 10.3.1 (i586)
pdftk openSUSE 10.3.1 (i586)
devs openSUSE 10.2 (i586) <--- what happended to this package?
- OpenOffice crashes on all powerpoints that I try to open.
The most recent "zypper dup" generated the following messages:
Package ghostscript-fonts-other-8.60-13 fails integrity check.
Package libgcj43-jar-4.3.0_20071129-6 fails integrity check.
Package x11-input-wacom-0.7.8-60 fails integrity check.
Package xen-doc-html-3.1.0_15042-77 fails integrity check.
Package xen-doc-pdf-3.1.0_15042-77 fails integrity check.
Package xorg-x11-libX11-ccache-7.3-25 fails integrity check.
And the question I have regading zypper:
Currently "zypper dup" restores rpms that I deleted (like wireshark,
*beagle*). Is there a way to prevent that?
Thanks
Joerg

Udev takes care of creating the device nodes, devs.rpm was finally dropped after 10.3. Some other rpm should probably obsolete it

Is it the same as https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=349216 ? thanks, Michal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

So what will happen if I "rpm -e devs"? Will my system still work?

Looks like it - I just added a small comment to that bug.
In the meantime I found an autoconf bug that prevents me from building
wireshark (opened bugid #349249).
Ciao

Hmm, good question. I'm afraid that rpm -e devs will remove the device nodes from /dev (even though the ones really owned by devs.rpm are hidden by the tmpfs mount on /dev). Try it and report a bug if you run into trouble ;-). You can tar up /dev before to avoid a reboot if something goes wrong.

A bugreport is likely to be closed as wontfix. See http://en.opensuse.org/Software_Management/Upgrade/Devs_Rpm on the traps and pitfalls of getting rid of devs.rpm.

Well, it isn't really relevant as the removal went fine, but the update
itself was already done and worked fine, it was just that the devs.rpm
was still around but udev was being used.

OK, I removed the package and rebooted the system after that (I needed
to update the kernel anyway). Now all is fine.
Thanks!

these packages are currently failing to build (sometimes due to dependencies, e.g. kdevelop3 does not build because of subversion does not build due to an libapr update), so thats why they still have the old factory version.

you have to block them. in case of beagle we've tried to workaround that by not recommending that package, but only install it via patterns. you have to look closer at what drags in the package and why.
