https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=229342 ------- Comment #3 from admin@eregion.de 2006-12-18 09:28 MST ------- A bug (or something that looks like it is a bug) is major or critical, when it concerns such a core function like package management. putting that aside... the description of zypper in the package list in yast was misleading. So it is really only for patches, and NOT a "replacement for rug" like its package description suggests? It says "Command Line Package Managemend using libzypp" and the way it handles installation and removal of packages ("zypper install abc" installs package abc, etc etc) makes it really look like its a replacement for tug, just without the memory hogging zmd in the background... so tell me, why should it NOT be able to see the following facts: 1. package cjkfonts IS actually installed 2. package cjkfonts has a newer version on installation source XYZ 3. I'm installing that newer version now, because its newer if i use zypper to uninstall the package first, then install it again, it also would install the newer version, right? besides, explain the output of "zypper -h": gildor:~ # zypper -h Options: --help, -h Help --version, -V Output the version number --verbose, -v Increase verbosity --terse, -t Terse output for machine consumption --table-style, -s Table style (integer) --rug-compatible, -r Turn on rug compatibility Commands: help Help shell, sh Accept multiple commands at once install, in Install packages or resolvables remove, rm Remove packages or resolvables search, se Search for packages matching a pattern service-list, sl List services aka installation sources service-add, sa Add a new service service-delete, sd Delete a service service-rename, sr Rename a service refresh, ref Refresh all installation sources patch-check, pchk Check for patches patches, pch List patches list-updates, lu List updates update, up Update packages info, if Show full info for packages patch-info Show full info for patches why is there an option to "list updates" as well as an option to "list patches"? From what you wrote, zypper is not responsible for handling updates at all... -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
