Yes, correct!
This brings up one question: I have forces an update from SL 9.0 to 9.2 that way, and everything is fine, only YOU still looks for Updates to 9.0... Now the question is: How is YaST's product database properly updated to the new release? Finally a performance remark: It seems when trying an update to many packages (like "*.rpm"), rpm is much slower (needs a lot of RAM?) as compared to something like "echo *.rpm |xargs -n 10 rpm ....". Yes, I know there's a semantic difference, so you could try reordering the input list until every package is in. Maybe you can have the same effect with --nodeps... Regards, Ulrich
