[opensuse] Kernel 3.0.74-40.1 subsequently re-offered for update via Evergreen
I am running openSUSE 11.4 and using Evergreen to keep my system up to date. Evergreen online update is running fine so far - thanks to the maintainers of this service. It is valuable for me, because I want to run rock stable 11.4 for some more time - it is tweaked a lot to my personal needs. However, I am having a strange issue after updating to kernel 3.0.74-40.1: Immediately after updating the packages - kernel-desktop-base-3.0.74-40.1.x86_64 - kernel-source-3.0.74-40.1.x86_64 - kernel-desktop-3.0.74-40.1.x86_64 - kernel-desktop-devel-3.0.74-40.1.x86_64 via Yast, the packages are re-offered for update. When initiating the update now, yast dectects all packages already beeing up to date and finishes. But immediately after the update the packages are re-offered. This is an endless loop. Things are identical with kpackagekit. Is this a known issue? What can I do to tell Yast/kpackagekit that the kernel needs no update any more? Maybe I should mention that I am mostly running Vanilla kernel 3.2.36 while kernel 3.0.74 is a fallback solution only for me.

i have not seen it in my 11.4 (and not seen any other post the problem)..

not sure if it will help--i doubt it could hurt (but read my sig caveat before, anyway)--do these in order in a root terminal/console: zypper clean --all rpmdb --rebuilddb zypper refresh -fdb they might take a while...don't interrupt...when done then run YaST Online Update (YOU) again and see if the problem is gone.. by the way, i found kpackagekit pretty flaky in 11.4 and disabled it and use YOU occasionally (as often as you wanna) instead..(later updates to packagekit may have solved those probs...have not tested) alternatively "zypper patch" does all that YOU does, and "zypper up" does all that kpackagekit did, but better (imo...ymmv) dd http://tinyurl.com/DD-Caveat -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

alternatively "zypper patch" does all that YOU does, and "zypper up" does all that kpackagekit did, but better (imo...ymmv)
Thank you for your quick reply. I've just issued your proposed three commands and currently both YaST and kpackagekit seem to be happy - besides me :-). I'll be keeping an eye on it.
