There is a new kernel update, the kernel patch is rendered needed, 'zypper patch' requests to install that patch, solver realizes it can't satisfy the patch because of the locked kernel-pae package. To avoid this dialog, you would need to lock also all the patches that would require the kernel-pae package (but bug 420606 must be fixed first). In other words, we do not have a way to apply all needed patches except those which would cause a dependency problem (due to a lock or other problem). Maybe it's not even desirable - how would you learn about important security updates, if one of affected packages had been locked? We can print an error message, but a failed operation is much more alerting :O) This is not a bug, closing as invalid. Please discuss any ideas about how to improve this on opensuse-softwaremgmt@o.o ML. -- 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.

(Does patch locking work nowadays? AFAIK it was broken for quite some time and never fixed, there's code in zypper, yast, packagekit that needs to look at locks instead of blindly selecting patches to be installed)

no, _patch_ locks don't work in zypper, bug 420606 -- 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.
