https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=351290 Summary: zypper should let me ignore deps Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: logixoul@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- 1. I wanna hack on libvisual so I compile it from source and install it. 2. I then need a libvisual-capable app, so I want the amarok-libvisual package. 3. But it depends on libvisual which I do have installed, from source. 4. So, I wanna ignore the dependency on libvisual. 5. zypper doesn't let me do that. -- 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.

However, it is achievable with zypper using locks - you put libvisual into /etc/zypp/locks file (see the docs) and then, upon installation, you'll get a dependency problem (libvisual not installable because it's locked) which you'll choose to ignore: Solution #: Ignore this requirement just here Choose the number, (s)kip, (r)etry or (c)ancel> # But you're creating a mess in your system this way. A better approach would be to install the project you wish to hack on under /usr/local or elsewhere, together with the dependent projects (amarok-libvisual and co.). You'll have your original system (almost) untouched. -- 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.
