[opensuse] Upgrading to 42.3 experience - packman
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm right now in the process of upgrading one of my machines from 42.2 to 42.3 (DVD offline method).

It is impossible to change once the upgrade from *DVD* has started. Anyway, I just tried with Firefox on another computer and it works. I switched to a terminal on the upgrading system, which this instant is running from DVD/USB stick installation media, so the available programs are minimal: there is no web browser to try, but ping to that server works. I found the problem! I located the YaST log. YaST is looking now "mjpegtools-2.0.0-19.6.x86_64.rpm", whereas the server now has "mjpegtools-2.0.0-19.7.x86_64.rpm" The server has updated content while I was running the upgrade :-/ And it is impossible to go back in YaST and tell it to refresh. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

I usually update from dvd (flash drive) without any repos enabled.

Before booting the install DVD I edited all extra repos to point to the 42.3 versions. This saves time and trouble, when YaST finds installed packages that are not in the OSS repo. The DVD-upgrade procedure does the equivalent of "--no-allow-vendor-change". Remember, it is YaST running from the DVD. This procedure works very well on Leap.
Same experiences here. @Carlos: was the vendor change to Packman *ever* done ?
Yes, of course it was. The problem, as I posted before, was that the packman repository was itself updated while I was running the upgrade, in the half an hour between YaST refreshing the repo data, me ticking the options in YaST, and finally doing the upgrade run. It was not all the packman rpms, only a portion. For example, kodi packages were upgraded without problems, I saw them flash by. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

I think that's part of the point of download-in-advance or download-only isn't it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Again, I'm using the DVD-upgrade method. Boot the DVD, choose "upgrade installed system". There is no option to download in advance anything. This is not zypper. I'm not running any "zypper" command. It is a GUI, a variant of YaST with no desktop, kiosk mode alike. Very similar to the installation system GUI, but for upgrades. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Well yes, so I think either you need to file an enhancement request or switch your upgrade method to avoid the problem in future. I was just pointing out that there is a solution to your problem. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No, there is not. That enhancement is not feasible in the short/medium term, nor is switching upgrade method. Anyhow, download in advance would also fail in this case, because between repodata download, and package download there was half an an hour or less in between. The actual download is instant, I have a very fast Internet. If the repository download changes in that interval the only thing to do, even with download in advance, is full restart of the procedure. The same thing can happen with zypper, if you take half an hour to decide things and the repo changes before you give the "go ahead". There is nothing to do to enhance the situation. Except repositories delaying the actual delete of packages two hours after giving the command. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

Did you also use the --no-allow-vendor-change option ? That should stop the moving to openSUSE-repo for the Packman installed packages. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.

It is YaST, *DVD* upgrade. No zypper, no options. And nothing can be changed once it starts. It is trying to upgrade packman from packman, anyway. [...] See my other post, I found the reason. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
