https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=408205 Summary: Yast2 Online Update Does Not Recognize when newer fglrx driver is installed. Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: PC OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: drankinatty@suddenlinkmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Devs, (Stefan) Yast online update or zypper up, neither recognize when a newer ati fglrx driver is installed from the ATI package (example: ati-driver-installer-8-6-x86.x86_64.run) and an update using yast or zypper downgrades the fglrx driver. This happens when a new kernel is released, etc. An "update" should not "downgrade" software. In the case of the fglrx driver, yast should check for the existence of the driver installed from the driver-installer package, such as fglrx64_7_1_0_SUSE103-8.501-1.x86_64.rpm and if found, should simply run /usr/bin/fglrx-kernel-build.sh as a post-install script instead of forcing the downgrade. Additionally, when install of the FGLRX driver is triggered as a "dependency" the user should be given the option of saying NO to the auto install of the older driver (or any package for that matter). However, currently, on a kernel update there is no way to say NO to an auto-dependency. Thanks. If you need any additional information, please just ask and I'll be happy to send. -- 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.
