After installation it appeared nothing was really installed (though installer claim that installation was "partially successful") and there were problem with packages. Ok, problems happen.

[Bug 406102] New: KDE4 startkde script changes $PATH more than necessary
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=406102 Summary: KDE4 startkde script changes $PATH more than necessary Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace AssignedTo: kde-maintainers(a)suse.de ReportedBy: bjoern(a)cs.tu-berlin.de QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: Beta-Customer The KDE4 start script /usr/bin/startkde modifies the PATH variable. This is necessary because KDE4 should be preferred over equal named KDE3 packages. This part works fine, e.g.: $ type -a konqueror konqueror is /usr/bin/konqueror konqueror is /usr/bin/X11/konqueror konqueror is /opt/kde3/bin/konqueror The problem is, that the /usr/bin becomes the first element in $PATH. So programs in /usr/bin (not necessary KDE programs) hide equal named programs in other $PATH elements, especially in /usr/local/bin. This is bad, because /usr/local/bin is meant for local installations which should "replace" distribution programs. For instance I personally install the latest pidgin binary in /usr/local/bin. Normally (outside the KDE4) desktop this is preferred over the distribution binary /usr/bin/pidgin: # echo $PATH /usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/bv/bin/Linux:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin:/usr/NX/bin:/opt/gnome/bin:/usr/lib/qt3/bin # type -a pidgin pidgin is /usr/local/bin/pidgin pidgin is /usr/bin/pidgin pidgin is /usr/bin/X11/pidgin Within KDE4 the order changed and /usr/bin is preferred: # echo $PATH /usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/bv/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin:/usr/NX/bin:/opt/gnome/bin:/usr/lib/qt3/bin # type -a pidgin pidgin is /usr/bin/pidgin pidgin is /usr/local/bin/pidgin pidgin is /usr/bin/X11/pidgin The PATH is changed in /usr/bin/startkde near line 28. My suggestion is: - at first the script searches for /opt/kde3/bin - if /opt/kde3/bin is found, replace /opt/kde/bin with /usr/bin:/opt/kde3/bin - if /opt/kde3/bin is not found, do nothing (/usr/bin should be always in $PATH) - this all could be easily done with "sed" Quick Workarounds for users: - set PATH to and hardcoded good PATH in /usr/bin/startkde (under the $PATH block near line 28) - uninstall distribution program which hide /usr/local/bin programs (this is not always possible for instance because of dependencies) Setup: I detected the problem under openSUSE 10.3 with KDE4 from KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop.repo. But the same start script also exists in KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop.repo for openSUSE 11. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 441507] New: Mechanism to discard rebuilt package that have no changes to the previous package

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441507 Summary: Mechanism to discard rebuilt package that have no changes to the previous package Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: BuildService AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: wberrier(a)gmail.com QAContact: adrian(a)novell.com Found By: --- I find myself upgrading hundreds of megabytes of packages from the build service per month. I go to look to see what new features, bug fixes, etc, are in these new upgrades, and realize they are mostly package rebuilds with no real or necessary changes. Wouldn't it be great if we could somehow compare a newly built package against the previous package to see if there were actually any real changes? Then the newly built package could be discarded if no changes were found. This would save a lot of mirror bandwidth, and possibly build time (since this package alone wouldn't add any more new dependencies). Other projects are on the other end of the spectrum (ie: packman). They rely on manual rebuilds, and that often gets them in to trouble. But they usually only rebuild if it is required. I think the above would be a nice middle ground.

[Bug 435538] New: Starting YOU in a linux32 environment corrupts installation of x86-64 system

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435538 Summary: Starting YOU in a linux32 environment corrupts installation of x86-64 system Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andreas(a)schweigstill.de QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com Found By: Community User I accidentally started YOU (Yast Online Update) in a linux32 environment which had been inherited by the root shell. It showed that no online updates were available for the current installation. When closing YOU it said that there were lots of updates which have been selected automatically. I acknowledged this and YOU tries to replace the 64bit programs with 32bit programs. After some time YOU crashed because it could not find /bin/bash anymore. A reboot also isn't possible because init can't find some libraries. After a hard reset the system is completely unusable. The behaviour mentioned above can be reproduced on another computer with openSUSE 11.0.
