Recently completed a clean install of 13.2 amd-64 and the other day zypper up wanted to remove a whole list of packages. I wonder why. Is the project switching stuff in midstream or early during product life cycle, or changing their minds or how come? thanks.
The following 6 applications are going to be REMOVED: Ark Dolphin KGpg Marble Showfoto digiKam
This is caused by a bug in zypper or a zypper library. Nothing will be removed. Note the mentioning of applications instead of packages. No packages will be removed that contain these applications.
I think it is also because I have checked into the spelling of all those packages and many packages changed from capital starting letters into complete lowercase and such stuff. I do wonder about the philosophy of naming the packages and programs and who and why it gets decided to be changed after release or why these things change so often as I have observed similar things in the past opensuse releases as well every now and then. Weird.
it is now for example: digikam-4.6.0-13.23.x86_64 digikam-doc-4.6.0-13.23.noarch dolphin-14.12.1-8.21.x86_64 kgpg-14.12.1-8.1.x86_64 plasma-addons-marble-4.14.3-12.6.x86_64 libmarblewidget20-14.12.1-8.8.x86_64 marble-data-14.12.1-8.8.noarch libmarblewidget19-4.14.3-4.3.x86_64 marble-14.12.1-8.8.x86_64 marble-doc-14.12.1-8.8.noarch
and it was differently spelt before I think
No. The package names have not been changed. Only a new type Application has been introduced (not properly) in zypper. If anything changes in the packages that belong to these applications you will see that the message that the application will be removed, which in fact is not the case. So just ignore the messages about applications, they are bogus. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
