It is relevant: home repos dissapear without notice. There is no graceful fail mode for that, except abort.
If you'd like to have a discussion about zypper's behavior in that case, feel free to start a new topic.
I'm not interested in it, and haven't asked for any changes regarding it. zypper's current abort/retry behvaior is completely sufficient in the case of a a repo -- any repo -- that disappears without notice. Not only is fallback in that case not needed, it's nonsensical.
Well, *you* cannot have it only one way. There happen to be many packages duplicated with differing version numbers (and build numbers which appear to be different versions). Your first-stated problem probably comes from mirrors not being updated when you request the packages. Perhaps your interest will move you to investigate the possibility of automagically searching for another mirror or applicable package in an alternate repo to fulfill your requests. I too have observed occasions where packages show published but aren't available which usually is solved by some patience. In fact, I cannot install/upgrade to the just released digikam 4.2 because the updated kipi-plugins are not yet available, at least to the mirrors my system is utilizing. patience, ma-man... -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
