Hi openSuSers,

I just ran a "zypper patch" and found a new release of opensuse.

The fact is that, in order to upgrade I have to un-install almost 1047 packages!!

Is it really foreseen?

Thanks.

Something seems wrong.

Can you post the output of "zypper lr -d" here.

Marco, It appears there is a major bug in the patch for openSUSE-release-12.1 Do NOT install it / accept it. Doing so will apparently uninstall most of 12.1. they found the problem before it got pushed to the community: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=754402 I don't know how it got out to the wild and still be that dangerous..

they found the problem before it got pushed to the community:

Seems to be already fixed, and as usual, such stuff is usually fixed ASAP, even though the fact that it has been fixed may take a while to be announced. $ rpm -qa --last | head libopenssl-devel-1.0.0e-34.9.1 Wed 11 Apr 2012 01:03:26 AM CEST openssl-1.0.0e-34.9.1 Wed 11 Apr 2012 01:03:22 AM CEST openSUSE-release-12.1-2.1 Wed 11 Apr 2012 01:03:22 AM CEST openSUSE-release-dvd-12.1-2.1 Wed 11 Apr 2012 01:03:17 AM CEST libopenssl1_0_0-32bit-1.0.0e-34.9.1 Wed 11 Apr 2012 01:03:16 AM CEST [..] And there were no conflicts, no packages to uninstall etc., I had openSUSE-release-12.1-1.4 (or what it was) installed previously etc. Oh, and my solution would have been to either just not install the patch for a bit or "break" the package. I think I've got about a couple of dozen "broken" packages. If you know what you're doing (and the above problem is an obvious case of a broken dependency), there's nothing wrong with "breaking" packages. Just be sure to look at those packages later, if they have been fixed.

It looks like the famous command:

su -; cd / ; rm -rf , <enter>

WTF? What happend to 'rm -rf /'? Oh, and BTW: I've done that at least once on intention :) A mkfs or dd if=/dev/zero might be more appropriate in the usual cases though. -dnh -- WANTED: Schroedingers Cat, dead or alive. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No, it was a bad patch.

I removed it now, we will see how to do it better.

Ciao, Marcus

Fine Marcus, I've not installed the patch, since I suspected something wrong. The risks of this kind of submissions are especially for newer users or even for people who configured the package managers to automatically/silently install the patches, for this reason who has the power to issue this kind of updates, should double-check before to give it the green-light.

Hi,

The updater applets will hopefully not isntall patches which have this kind of conflict list.
