ah, virtualbox was dropped from Tumbleweed :-/ so, If you are using Tumbleweed and you want to also use virtualbox, I suggest you to add this repo : "zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/VirtualBox_Tumblew..." it contains virtualbox sources (link) from openSUSE:Factory, build against Tubleweed repo (this is crucial for vbox kernel modules) bye ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de> Date: Sat, Apr 2, 2011 at 8:45 PM Subject: Re: [opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed: YOU conflict error To: Greg Freemyer <greg.freemyer@gmail.com> Cc: OS-fctry <opensuse-factory@opensuse.org> On Fri, Apr 01, 2011 at 01:49:55PM -0700, Greg KH wrote:

All,
Is there a simple way security updates can be tested to install cleanly on a Tumbleweed system?
Can we make that part of the process somehow?
No, that's not up to the security or maintance people, that's up to the tumbleweed developers.

I just tried to do a YOU, but I get a conflict that a typical user should not have to face just because they're using Tumbleweed:
What's a "YOU"?

patch:python-virtualbox-4219.noarch conflicts with virtualbox-qt.x86_64 < 4.0.4-1.6.1 provided by virtualbox-qt-4.0.4-1.2.x86_64
What is causing this conflict? What is "python-virtualbox"? Does it not come from the main virtualbox repo? If not, it looks like just adding it to tumbleweed would resolve the issue, right?
Due to the insanity of the virtualbox code, I've now just dropped it from Tumbleweed entirely, sorry. I really don't recommend anyone running it on their systems the kernel stuff is just too looney. Especially as things like KVM work so much better in the end. best of luck, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
