https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=379480 Summary: Zypper uninstalls itself and uninstalls rpm then dies Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: kkaempf@novell.com ReportedBy: dave.plater@yahoo.co.uk QAContact: kkaempf@novell.com Found By: --- Running up to date 11 April zypper, yast etc. I attempted to downgrade yast to my previous version using 'zypper in' with path to rpm and zypper wanted to reinstall a lot of programs. Saying yes zypper started to remove software including itself. I think it got stuck on MozillaFirefox-2.0.0.12-5 which has a sick remove script. After zypper failed on error I had no more KDE at all just what was already running. After rpm installing zypper and friends from console I attempted various installations to recover my system, one involving libstdc++43 also wanted to reinstall a large number of programs one being rpm! After uninstalling rpm zypper could no longer install anything and my system died. I will forward logs and any other data next week after I have backed up and installed a new system (maybe yast will work by then). Zypper should never uninstall itself, libzypp and especialy rpm unless specificaly asked to. My information is from memory because I have no access to my files (using vista) The version of firefox may not be correct but I'm sure somebody must have filed a bug for it by now. -- 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.

Looks like a problem handling nested dependancies. -- 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.

Uninstalling zypper is not such a big issue (the in-memory zypper can finish the task), but uninstalling rpm with more rpm calls scheduled is an issue. The log says rpm was scheduled to be removed, and once removed, subsequent calls to it start to fail. I'm not quite sure where (solver? commit?) or how to handle this. I recall some discussions about this subject but no conclusion. -- 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.

I read what is to be removed very carefully now. -- 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.

The point is than even if you specifically request to remove rpm with libzypp (e.g. by choosing to do so in the dependency resolution prompt), it should not fail on the half of the way - it should ensure that it succeds (e.g. by postponing the removal of rpm to the end). Even if you upgrade rpm, we should not rely on the old rpm being called until the new one is installed, and the start using the new one for the rest of the commit process - the rpm update should be moved to the end. OK, this is not that urget like the 'remove' case, but it can break something, too. As for the removal of zypper itself, i don't agree that that should be forbiden in any way. What we _could_ do is to display a "Warning: you are about to remove zypper! You'll be lost without it! :O)". But that would be just a minor enahncement bug (i think i'll do it anyway). The above is what matters. -- 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.
