Hi, I have not been able to get the zen-updater working properly after upgrade to SuSE Linux 10.1. After a while I found the hint on the SDB: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:ZEN-Update_System_problem_in_10.1 I did the YaST online-update as described there and it seem to work OK, updating the following packages: libzypp-zmd-backend-7.1.1.0-42.46 libzypp-1.2.0-1.27 yast2-online-update-frontend-2.13.43-1.3 yast2-installation-2.13.132.4-0.3 yast2-packager-2.13.139-1.3 yast2-online-update-2.13.43-1.3 yast2-2.13.64.2-0.2 suseRegister-1.0-63.9 zmd-7.1.1.0-39.50 yast2-ncurses-2.13.40-1.3 yast2-qt-2.13.60-0.4 autoyast2-2.13.69-0.3 yast2-pkg-bindings-2.13.88-1.3 yast2-perl-bindings-2.13.5-1.3 yast2-security-2.13.4-0.3 autoyast2-installation-2.13.69-0.3 However, I could not start the zen-updater any more, it always crashes with the following error message: "System.NullReferenceExecption: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" etc. etc. Manual updates with rug also fail: "ERROR: Dependency resolution failed: Unresolved dependencies: Establishing script:libzypp-patch-zmdrestart.sh-2-1533-1.noarch[System packages] This would invalidate script:libzypp-patch-zmdrestart.sh-2-1533-1.noarch[System Marking this resolution attempt as invalid." And the YaST Online-Update does not work nay more either. Anyone with any idea where to look for the problems? The zmd appears to run, and I could not find anything supicious in /var/log/zmd-messages.log I have also downloaded the zen-updater-7.1.0-51.29 RPM and updated it manually, to no avail.

Get the packages from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.1-packagemanagement-update-test/rpm/ and update to them. Afterwards, make sure you restart zmd (rczmd restart)

In the i586 directory there are over 50 RPMs. Do you happen to know which ones should be installed, and in what order? i've downloaded only the symlinks which point to RPMs, assuming that those point to the "latest" version of each RPM, but that still leaves me with 15 RPMs. i've tried installing a few of them, but then get errors like: owl:/space/packages/zend # rpm -i libzypp.rpm file /usr/share/zypp/schema/xmlstore/language.rnc from install of libzyp p-1.3.1-0.6 conflicts with file from package libzypp-0.0.8-154 file /usr/share/zypp/schema/xmlstore/language.rng from install of libzyp p-1.3.1-0.6 conflicts with file from package libzypp-0.0.8-154 ... (many more) When i then try to uninstall libzypp-0.0.8-154 i get errors about files being required by other packages. i'm not about to spend the rest of the day sorting through the dependencies, though. Any tips on how to do this smoothly? -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W. Watts

Get the ones called .i586.rpm, for example with a command like wget ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.1-packagemanagement-update-test/rpm/*.i586.rpm Then do rpm -Fvh *.rpm in that directory. This will update only the packages you already have installed, and it will handle the order as well in another mail I saw you did rpm -i, but that is only for installing rpms you don't already have installed. Updating is done with either -U or -F (the difference is that -U will install packages if you don't already have them installed, and -F will only update if you already have them) I also saw you used --force. Never ever *ever* under *any* circumstances use --force In short, using -i and --force to update rpms is a recipe for disaster

So what all does this fix Anders? Does it fix the repetitive download and the slowness? -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

I think you missed a directory in that url ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.1-packagemanagement-update-test/rpm/i586/*.i586.rpm -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
