[zypp-devel] "Checking for file conflicts" - slower than it used to be?
by Adam Spiers 24 Apr '17

Is it just me or does the "Checking for file conflicts" stage of a zypper install sometimes take a lot longer than it used to? My memory is that it always used to be extremely fast, whereas now it can take tens of seconds in some cases, or even minutes. It seems very strange to me that it would ever need to take more than a fraction of a second. Is there a good reason for this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: zypp-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[zypp-devel] enforce install from same src.rpm
by Olaf Hering 10 Feb '17

If a given package is provided by more than one repo, and if that package has subpackages, then it can easily happen that one of the subpackages comes from repoA while another one comes from repoB. That happens because the rpm dependencies are satisfied via SONAME for example. But each package might be configured and built differently, and if the subpackages link and/or communicate with each other the ABI may differ. In practice this happens with the ffmpeg and gstreamer packages from Leap/Tumbleweed and Packman/VideoLan. The result is a misbehaviour at runtime. The easy and obvious way is a 'zypper dup --from <repo>' to resolve that. No code changes needed for that. But I wonder if libzypp has enough info from the repository data to enforce that each subpackage comes from the same vendor:src.rpm. Olaf
