[opensuse-factory] Possible zypper glitch
Hi . Well just done a zypper up on my laptop running MS7 . it claims to have updated the kernel to 2.6.31-10.1 from 2.6.31-9 But i did not have -9 on the machine it was -8 on it . Toward the end of the zypper session it threw up a large amount of reports attempting to carry out actions on deleted files then asked for the process to be re started i just got the report nothing to do . This appears to not check what it is doing before it attempts to carry an action as exampled by the Kernel versions and the now failed sym links still booting 2.6.31-8 but installed 2.6.31-10.1 i have saved the zypper.log and /var/log/zypp/history if they are of use .

i think "zypper dup" would have been more appropriate in this situation. when i ran it a couple hours ago, several kernel related packages were actually _downgraded_; "zypper up" doesn't do that.

strange; ive never seen zypper telling me from which version it upgraded to the new one. i just see info. about the new package being installed, not the old one being replaced.

zypper does that nowadays: telling you which running processes are using files that have been deleted or replaced.
i just got the report nothing to do .
after a kernel update, you certainly should reboot.

you may have to edit your boot configuration manually. i would try first "zypper dup", perhaps that fixes the situation. in my case the new boot menu entries were properly created, including command line options. the last time (M7) this did not happen.
i have saved the zypper.log and /var/log/zypp/history if they are of use .
not to me at this point; i'd suggest to run "zypper dup" and see what happens--or better, wait for one of the real experts here to confirm or correct what i wrote... -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

If you run `zypper -v dup` you'll see an extended list which provides both old and new version numbers.
zypper does that nowadays: telling you which running processes are using files that have been deleted or replaced.
Next step, then, will be offering to restart affected services? :-) Gerald -- Dr. Gerald Pfeifer E gp@novell.com SUSE Linux Products GmbH Director Product Management F +49(911)74053-483 HRB 16746 (AG Nuremberg) SUSE Linux Enterprise, openSUSE, Appliances GF Markus Rex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Well, this would be the next idea. But as soon as you update glibc you could restart the whole system (even if its not necessary). Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

JFYI, zypper 1.2.5 will not show these processes after each update/removal. It will show only a short notice and suggest to run 'zypper ps' to show the processes. -- cheers, jano Ján Kupec YaST team ---------------------------------------------------------(PGP)--- Key ID: 637EE901 Fingerprint: 93B9 C79B 2D20 51C3 800B E09B 8048 46A6 637E E901 ---------------------------------------------------------(IRC)--- Server: irc.freenode.net Nick: jniq Channels: #zypp #yast #suse #susecz ---------------------------------------------------------(EOF)---

thanks, that's interesting. didn't notice it in the man file.

more like reboot, in many cases... -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
