http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=500382 Summary: zypper and yast2 have different opinions about what needs updating Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: admin@eregion.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.0.9) Gecko/2009041500 SUSE/3.0.9-0.1.1 Firefox/3.0.9 i do a "zypper -r up" as root on a commandline and i get this output: sai:~ # zypper -r lu Retrieving repository 'Packman Repository' metadata [done] Building repository 'Packman Repository' cache [done] Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... No updates found. sai:~ # to me that means "no new package versions for the stuff you have installed." Now, if i start yast2, go to "install/remove software" (yast2 sw_single), select "summary", then set the checkmark for "keep" (I see all installed packages now), then right-click somewhere in that list and choose "all in this list -> update if never version is available" i get a message telling me "plasmoid-systemloadviewer-0.6-2.36.i686 needs kdebase4-runtime >= 4.2.2 which is not available", and a list of 100 packages, all belonging to KDE 4.2.2, which should be uninstalled. The culprit is the package kde4-webkitpart-4.2.2.svn958332-2.1 from kde3::backports (which, in my opinion, should not be there at all anyways). If i select "do not install kde4-webkitpart-4.2.2.svn958332-2.1" i dont get any problems. Now, the issue in this bug is, why does yast2 think that kde4-webkitpart needs upgrading, and "zypper -r up" does not? Which of the two ways to update your installation is the one to be trusted and relied on? yast2, or zypper? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add the repositories for KDE 4.2 and KDE 3 for opensuse 11.1 2. zypper -r up 3. yast2 sw_single (see above) Actual Results: see summary Expected Results: zypper and yast2 should have the same "ideas" about which packages need updating. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
