[Bug 450071] New: ncurses sw_single: Repo-Filter mixes up package versions
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450071 Summary: ncurses sw_single: Repo-Filter mixes up package versions Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: RC 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: cwh@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Repository /mounts/dist/install/SLP/openSUSE-11.1-RC1/x86_64/DVD1/suse/x86_64/ contains kernel-default-2.6.27.7-4.1.x86_64.rpm Update repository for 11.1 contains kernel-default-2.6.27.7-8.1.x86_64.rpm Installed on my system is the version from the update repo because it is the newer one. Now I select as filter "Repositories" in ncurses sw_single and select the repository from dist. Scrolling down to the kernel packages in the list. package kernel-default is wrongly shown as installed and shown as version is 2.6.27.7-8.1 which is the version from the update repo - not from the selected one.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450071 User kmachalkova@novell.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450071#c1 --- Comment #1 from Katarina Machalkova <kmachalkova@novell.com> 2008-12-05 09:30:49 MST --- It is because the table always displays a version of 'candidate' package, if it is available. So if there's any newer version of the kernel on update repository, you'll see that in the 'version' column of the table. However if you look at the description field of the package under the table, you'll see two distinct versions - installed and available. What Qt packager does is that it shows both versions in a single column in the form '$installed($available)'. Could be done in ncurses as well, but probably post-11.1 (requires string modification) There were originally two columns in ncurses packager, one for each version, but one of them was omitted for the lack of screen space. The way it is done now saves some screen space on one hand, but on the other hand does not show exact and reliable information. -- 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.

In other words, the newest version available. It works in a consistent way with Qt packager. However, there is an alternative way how to display which repository contains which version. Menu -> View -> Package versions will 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.
