Hello everyone,
I hope you had a nice new years eve.
I ran into problems a while ago, because when trying to install truecrypt from the security:/privacy/ repository. When installing the package truecrypt, it somehow wanted to install trucrypt-kmp-bigsmp, while I was running kernel-default. So it wanted to install kernel-bigsmp, too.
well it is valid to install any of the kmp packages dependency wise, but of course this does not help you here. I believe the installer should offer you choices here instead of simply pick something. ...
What is going wrong there? Wrong dependencies in the packages? Problems on my machines? Problem in apt (which I doubt, cos I tried zypper as well)?
actually, without checking this really, I believe it is a problem with apt. apt tries to avoid to ask the user and is doing "best guess" installations (that is the reason why our SLES people do not like it, because it can even destroy a system). Does zypper not offer you a list of choices in the same situation ? I mean before any trucrypt-kmp-* package is installed ? bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
