Hi,

Ist there a non-documented truly non-interactive option of zypper? I need to run it from an Autoyast postinstall script 
to perform updates after we have localized the software repositories. The code I use for this to perform is:

==CUT==
# Package repositories after installation
zypper repos -d

# Delete all repositories ...
repositories=`zypper repos | awk '($1~/^[0-9]+$/){print $1}'`
zypper removerepo $repositories

# Set install server as package repository ...
zypper addrepo  http://$INSTSRV/suse/11.0 "openSUSE 11.0 DVD"
zypper addrepo  http://$INSTSRV/suse/opensuse-updates/11.0 "openSUSE 11.0 
Updates"
zypper modifyrepo -r "openSUSE 11.0 Updates"
zypper refresh -f
zypper repos -d


# One of installed patches affects the package manager itself
# Therefore we must run it at least twice. Somehow the RPM database is
# corrupt rebuild it or the list of available updates does not match.
cd /tmp
for (( i=1; i<=2; i++ )); do
  echo "Updating system (run $i) ..."
  zypper -n verify
  zypper -n list-updates
  zypper -n update --skip-interactive --auto-agree-with-licenses 
--force-resolution
  echo "Rebuilding RPM database ..."
  rpm --rebuilddb -v
done
==CUT==



The option "--force-resolution" had to be added because there was once a smbclient patch that hindered an online update 
and asked to confirm to delete smbclient due to a serious bug. Now there has another patch appeared and that option 
aborts online update completely. Output from /var/adm/autoinstall/logs/i250swupdate.log:



==CUT==
+ zypper -n list-updates
Reading installed packages...
Patches

Warning: These are only the updates affecting the updater itself.
Other updates are available too.

Repository            | Name         | Version | Category    | Status
----------------------+--------------+---------+-------------+-------
openSUSE 11.0 Updates | softwaremgmt | 365     | recommended | Needed
openSUSE 11.0 Updates | softwaremgmt | 462     | recommended | Needed
+ zypper -n update --skip-interactive --auto-agree-with-licenses 
--force-resolution
Reading installed packages...

Problem: cannot install both patch:softwaremgmt-462.noarch and 
patch:softwaremgmt-365.noarch
 Solution 1: do not install patch:softwaremgmt-462.noarch
 Solution 2: do not install patch:softwaremgmt-365.noarch

Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/C]: c
==CUT==


Isn't there an option that just does the right thing and updates all packages 
to the latest release?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Bernd
