I've not been able to update factory for a while now. I expected it to return to a sane state once beta1 was available, but I'm still getting nowhere. Is it still inconsistent, or am I hitting a bug I've missed while looking through bugzilla? Relevant excerpt from a zypper update; Problem: No valid solution found with only resolvables of best architecture. Problem: Can't satisfy requirement /usr/bin/awk for openldap2-2.3.35-12.i586 Problem: RealPlayer-10.0.8-97.i586[opensuse_non_oss] cannot be installed due to missing dependencies Problem: java-1_6_0-sun-1.6.0.u1-16.i586[opensuse_non_oss] cannot be installed due to missing dependencies Problem: hp-officeJet-0.91-183.i586 cannot be installed due to missing dependencies Problem: Can't satisfy requirement pilot-link == 0.12.1 for pilot-link-devel-0.12.1-73.i586 Problem: Can't satisfy requirement /sbin/update-bootloader for kernel-kdump-2.6.22_rc4-2.i586 Problem: Can't satisfy requirement /usr/bin/gconftool-2 for planner-0.14.2-7.i586[opensuse_oss] Problem: Can't satisfy requirement /sbin/isserial for setserial-2.17-645.i586[opensuse_oss] Problem: kdebluetooth-1.0_beta5-8.i586[opensuse_oss] cannot be installed due to missing dependencies Problem: metamail-2.7.19-1123.i586[opensuse_oss] cannot be installed due to missing dependencies Problem: Can't satisfy requirement /usr/bin/gconftool-2 for gnome-presence-applet-0.3.1-113.i586[opensuse_oss] Problem: java-1_4_2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-140.i586[opensuse_oss] cannot be installed due to missing dependencies Problem: kdegraphics3-scan-3.5.7-31.i586[opensuse_oss] cannot be installed due to missing dependencies Problem: yudit-2.7.8-83.i586[opensuse_oss] cannot be installed due to missing dependencies Problem: Can't satisfy requirement /usr/bin/wish for convert-1.3-867.i586[opensuse_oss] Problem: Can't satisfy requirement /usr/bin/gconftool-2 for tomboy-0.7.3-5.i586[opensuse_oss] Problem: Can't satisfy requirement /etc/init.d/network for klogd-1.4.1-622.i586[opensuse_oss] Problem: Can't satisfy requirement /sbin/mkdosfs for kdeutils3-3.5.7-32.i586[opensuse_oss] Problem: openct-0.6.12-6.i586[opensuse_oss] cannot be installed due to missing dependencies Problem: No valid solution found with only resolvables of best architecture. With this run only resolvables with the best architecture has been regarded. Regarding all possible resolvables takes time but can come to a valid result. Solution 1: Make a solver run with ALL possibilities.
