Listmates,
The good old reliable opensuse updater applet with libzpp backend is now broken (/usr/bin/opensuseupdater-kde) and has been for several weeks.
(1) It shows you have updates, you choose to install the updates - then it doesn't do anything, no install no nothing (yes I selected all)
(2) You then install with 'zypper up', and the updater still shows all the updates as "needing to be installed" even if you tell the intelligent little thing to "check now", it still says the updates need to be installed. It remains so until you log out and log back in and then it goes back to green.
I mean what good is an updater applet that won't update anything, and then can't figure out that what it says needs to be updated is already installed?? What gives?
Can someone else confirm this behavior before I bug it? Thanks.
David, No problems here (also running 11.0). Updates working very nicely, thankyou (apart from the odd dependency issue that requires resorting to Yast to sort out, which is what can happen when certain combinations of repositories are selected, so that I can live with). Might it be worth clearing out your repository caches etc. and letting it rebuild (perhaps via Yast)? What version of the updater are you running? What specific updates are you referring to? There was a issue a while back that meant that 3 or 4 specific security updates were incorrectly marked as required, but an update to libzypp (IIRC) fixed that issue. More details, please.

Sorry listmates - I accidentally broke the threading on this...the list rejected the first copy of the reply (complained about html etc.) and I cut and pasted it into a new message. In doing so, I completely forgot to use "reply to list" and hit "send" before I realised. So, no replies re broken mailers please - this was definitely pebkac :-). -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au ===================================================
