Specifically, a user wanted to try out WebYaST on 11.2. I took the 11.2 KDE live CD I added these repositories: zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/YaST:/Web/openSUSE_11.2 webyast zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/ruby:/extensions... rubyext zypper ref # and accepted the keys Installed the basic WebYaST package: zypper in lighttpd # a regular non-updated version zypper in yast2-webservice Now I got this, because indeed the updated lighttpd was not available (If you test this later, disable updates) Problem: nothing provides lighttpd > 1.4.20-3.6 needed by yast2-webservice-0.0.19-1.1.noarch Solution 1: deinstallation of yast2-webservice-0.0.19-1.1.noarch Solution 2: break yast2-webservice by ignoring some of its dependencies I chose 2 and assumed only the lighttpd dependency would be ignored. But in addition, the "rubygem-rails-2_3 = 2.3.4" dependency was ignored too. The wording "some of its deps" suggest this may be a "feature". But even zypper verify does not mention the rails dep afterwards. I will attach a solver test case. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
