2008-11-21 11:48:55 MST --- The second one is not necessarily a bug, because the solver uses different policies in 'dup' and 'up'. I suppose this will confuse several people, as they don't know what's the command they want to use. And as the zypper output is not very versbose, it's not that obvious why those packages were not considered in 'dup'.
The question is what should zypper show to make it obvious. It would need some additional info from the solver, currently it just gets which packages are going to be installed and which removed - no hit why. Or is there something more?
No, it's about zypper displaying just the package names. It might become more obvious, if one sees more details about the packages changes. foo (upgrade 2.1 -> 2.2) baa (downgrade 1.1 -> 0.9, arch i386 -> x_86_64) reh (reinstall 1.1 -> 1.1, vendor packman -> openSUSE) It might also be helpfull to display an abstract of the solver policies, so one recognizes the different rules active for 'up' and 'dup' allowdowngrade = 1 allowarchchange = 1 allowvendorchange = 1 allowuninstall = 0 .. If you now don't see 'reh' in 'zypper up', but see allowvendorchange = 0 you know why it's not there without need to file a bugreport. -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres YaST Development ma@novell.com SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany, ++49 (0)911 - 740 53-0 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
