No, the update automatically tries to keep as many unsupported packages installed as possible (as long as they don't interfere with the rest of the installation).
hmm, enigma and octave did not "interfere" but there have been some unresolved issues due to missing packatges on the DVD9. nothing which couldn't have been fixed later with updates from the net -- but so those packages are "gone" from the list of installed apps...
The i586 packages are due to a bug in the wine package. Sorry about that. Bad testing from our side. (It's also possible that those arch changes caused the removal of some of the packages you complained about.)
Removing wine and calling 'zypper dup' should switch the packages back to x86_64.
interesting! just did that and it "solved" all the update problems with strange version numbers which I just reported in bug #461625. is it possible to explain/understand that behaviour ? your new wine package seems to drive yast/zypper _very_ crazy ;-) dump question: is an wine update already scheduled ? one more question about zypper magic: (how) is it possible to tell zypper/yast _not_ to update any packages with the name pattern "*xfce*" (or specify an explicit exception/black list) ? I need this as a workaround for bug #444858 -- I have to keep xfce 4.4.2 from 110.0 for now.... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
