Why can't it be installed? Here's what happens: The solver sees a conflict in the following rules: UPDATE Rule #75638: osc-0.115-1.1.x86_64 [1106] (w1) Conflict.level1 osc-0.115-1.1.x86_64 [26987] (w2) Conflict.level1 next rules: 0 0 Rule #20004: !osc-0.119-23.1.x86_64 [29239] (w1) Install.level1 !osc-0.115-1.1.x86_64 [1106] (w2) Conflict.level1 next rules: 0 20057 Rule #20002: !osc-0.119-23.1.x86_64 [29239] (w1) Install.level1 !osc-0.115-1.1.x86_64 [26987] (w2) Conflict.level1 next rules: 20003 20055 JOB Rule #76430: osc-0.119-23.1.i586 [29206] (w1) Conflict.level1 osc-0.119-23.1.x86_64 [29239] (w2) Install.level1 next rules: 0 0 INFARCH Rule #77813: !osc-0.119-23.1.i586 [29206] (w1) Conflict.level1 next rules: 0 0 The update rule tells it by which packages the installed osc may be replaced because of arch/vendor restrictions. The two normal rules are package conflicts. The job rules is the 'osc > 0.115-1.1' from zypper. The infarch rule tells it that it mustn't use an i586 package. As you can see, the job rule and the update rule conflict can't be fulfilled as the packages conflict. It now has to present the user with the problem. It does this by choosing one of the rules heuristically. The heuristic prefers rules created by package dependencies, as the user understands them. The alternative would be the Job Rule ("your job didn't work out") or the update rule ("problem with installed package osc"). So it displays one if the conflict rules, saying that it cannot install two packages with the same name and different version. -- 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.
