Trying to upgrade to the latest internal rpm this morning (rev 181) from
a factory box that hadn't been updated in a couple weeks I received the
following error:
rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) <= 4.4.2-1 is needed by rpm-4.4.2-181.x86_64
Presumably because the older rpm could not update itself because of the
new payload requirements. Updating to the intermediate rev 179 that was
available in the public channel worked around the problem. There are
two potential issues:
1) People using zypp to upgrade factory may be halted from upgrades
and the more critical:
2) People on older distros may be unable to upgrade to 11.0 when it
comes out.
Coolo suggested we might need to define some core packages that don't
use the new payload system so upgrades work, but it seems like it yast
potentially we'd have to upgrade rpm first and then upgrade the packages
even if we fix that.
