[opensuse] stupid smart
Hello SuSE people, I've been using smart for years now. Always preferred it. Worked like a charm. Now it has begun being stupid. Trying to do upgrades it is trying to give me i586 packages when I am running x86_64 on 10.3 Even to the point of replacing an identical 64 bit package with the 32 bit one. Anybody else seeing this? Who do I email about stupid smart? Bob S -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That is why I no longer use Smart and only use Yast. Smart works well, but x86_64 seems to cause it problems, unacceptable to me. I would rather go a bit slower than mess up my system in a hurry. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

IMHO Apt is still the best of the package manager breed but on rpm based systems I prefer smart. I still find it faster than zypper despite the optimisations that have gone into zypper. I occassionally will run both just to see what they find and smart generally gives me results which look more in align with what I was expecting. Agreed it occassionally messes up with 64 bit systems but I general find that is because the i586 repository has a newer package and the x86_64 repository hasn't caught up yet. In those cases I normally wait till the next day and nine times out of ten the problem goes away. Two things I would like to know are: 1. Do either of these packages have the equivalent of Debian's deborphan? 2. Does yzpper have the equivalent of smart fix? -- Regards Scott Newton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

http://lists.labix.org/pipermail/smart-labix.org/2008-March/003430.html not that it looks like it will be fixed anytime soon. But zypper has its own problems right now (hope for a change), to which the i586/x86_64 issues is rather insignificant. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
