https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463479 Summary: updating to 11.1 from 11.0 - yast picks wrong versions Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Update Problems AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: novell-web@zmi.at QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Dear all, I'm in the process of updating my desktop 11.0 to 11.1. For this, I changed all repos to use the 11.1 versions, which are listed in zypper sl -d >zypper-sl.txt (attached with this report) As you can see, I resorted the output based on the priority of the package. Reading the docs the order should be by priority, lower numbers meaning higher priorities. But still, yast/zypper do not really listen to that. I found this on package MozillaFirefox: I have 3.0.5-0.1-x86_64 installed, and automatically version 3.0.4-4.7-x86_64 from openSUSE-11.1-Oss was select, while there even was a never version 3.0.5-1.1-x86_64 available on Updates_for_11.1. The updates repo should even have a higher priority against OSS, so why didn't it get selected? Also, I select "update all packages unconditionally" (or whatever that translates to from "unbedingt" in german). Now I have tons of packages like "mc", which is available in the same version 4.6.2.pre1-120.27-x86_64 both on "openSUSE_11_DVD_lokal_NFS_orion_1" and "openSUSE-11.1-Oss". But the NFS iso image should have priority over the Oss repo, which has to be downloaded over the Internet. This should really be fixed, because now I should update roughly 1650 packages, where most should be on the DVD but get downloaded over the Internet. Hmm.. Now I started the upgrade, and it says 4.5GB get updated, 3.83GB from DVD and only 190MB from the OSS repo. Could it be that yast/zypper does the thing right, despite saying to install from OSS taking it from the DVD? At least then it displays the wrong version info, which is still a bug (but not so problematic at least ;-) Another feature: When I update from 11.0 to 11.1, I of course want all packages to come from 11.1. So there should be an option to "update all packages with different version", no matter if it's newer or older. Like this, I can be sure to have the correct package for the actual distro. There are some packages already newer than the ones from 11.1 (even updates), and with such an option I could simply update all to the actual and correct version. -- 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.
