Letting a dup on Packman follow is as well definitely something I do not want because I do only prefer certain packages distributed by Packman over their Opensuse counterpart (To me dup is just a sledgehammer and is therefore only useful with small repos for a specific application like those provided by the buildservice). -- 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.

As zypper does not offer an undo function providing ddn would probably be the only way to achieve this.

Not really. IMO it would be much more worth to invest in implementation of proper undo/rollback function instead of this (it's not that easy to do anyway). The rollback is even planned and will have higher priority, so let's focus on that. One more thing comes to my mind: why not enable "keeppackages" for all repos and create a snapshot (hardlink all /var/cache/zypp/packages files recursively to some dir) and use this snapshot as a repository to go back to using 'zypper dup --repo snapshot' with solver.upgradeRemoveDroppedPackages = true. This could be even one way of doing real rollback... -- 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.

Query all packages installed from that repo (by an own python program of mine), uninstalling and reinstalling them as kept in a package list file. That should help. I hope. (breamfishing around with vim and elinks because a zypper dup of Xorg has once more broken my X.) -- 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.
