[Bug 1136893] New: Upgrading requires massive manual intervention selecting vendor change
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1136893 Bug ID: 1136893 Summary: Upgrading requires massive manual intervention selecting vendor change Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.1 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Upgrade Problems Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: uli@woodwax.co.nz QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- One of my computers used the repos packman, KDE framework and KDE application. During the upgrade the screen specifying the software gave the message manual intervention required. There I had probably at least 1000 cases where I had to choose either vendor change from any of the above mentioned repos back to the openSUSE repo or break the dependencies. To make the install easier and more usable (less tedious ticking 1000 times allow vendor change) I suggest that the manual intervention has the option allow vendor change for all those packages. Secondly I think that most users have the packman repos for multimedia where you have to select for approx 30 packages to allow vendor change. Then after the upgrade you have to reverse this action and allow vendor change back to packman. So I suggest that the packman repository can be added during the upgrade at the time when the 4 main repos are added.

It would be good if there would be a button or tick box when it comes to manual intervention which says "Allow vendor change". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I assume that nearly everyone uses packman for multimedia and it seems cumbersome to switch 30 packages to openSUSE and after the upgrade switch them back again to packman. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
