I added the repo to zypper, but when trying to do an update on a package that I know is newer, I get the following error from zypper: There is an update candidate for 'git', but it is from a different vendor. Use 'zypper install git-1.7.3.2-43.1.i586' to install this candidate.
Now I don't really want to have to have every user do this by hand for each package that gets added to tumbleweed, so how do I get this to be automatically overridden due to the fact that the 'git' package really is newer, and it should be installed.
Note, when running 'zypper dup' it says that there is nothing to do, I only get the above message when explicitly asking that git be installed, eventhough git is installed.
Anything I can do to the repo to keep this from happening?
in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf

Ah. Is this something that we really want to require for people using Tumbleweed? I've seen packages change vendors on 'zypper dup', but this only seems to show up when there are other "normal" updates available at the same time. Why would that time override this option? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
