If you give 11.1 repositories a higher priority than the 11.2 based repos, you are begging for problems. Especially if you are using 'zypper dup'. 'dup' does not look at the package versions, it strictly arranges your system according to the repo priorities. With your setup e.g each update released for 11.1 (Haupt-Repository 11.1, prio 23) will supersede the 11.2 package (Haupt-Repository (Open Source Software) 11.2, prio 99). This does not make sense to me. You don't upgrade, you get a mixture. Don't put 11.1 repos on top of 11.2. -- 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.

All online updates we released for 11.1 supersede the corresponding packages in the 11.2 distribution, except for the few 11.2 updates we released by now. Disable the 11.1 repos, or at least move them below the 11.2 ones. Start with 'zypper up zypper'. Sorry, but by now I don't see a bug here. Just a setup that's suspicious and maybe unnecessarily complex. If you need help with your setup, you can ask on the opensuse mailinglists for help. (BTW. The long running solver in comment 11 is due to the complexity of your system. Anyway the 11.2 solver should be faster then.

Created an attachment (id=333559) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=333559) [details] my repository selection (sorted by priority)

I have prioritised a few repositories differently once again.

Better, but the priority of the update repo (download.opensuse.org/update/11.2) should be higher than the distro(download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2) to be sure you actually get the released updates. It's also no problem if you assign a buildservice repo which is based on 11.2 the same (or even an higher) priority as the 11.2 distro. Just take care the 11.1 based ones are low.

Can the solver cope with the dependency hell here?

Yes. I admit the messages are sometimes hard to interpret, but that's not a bug. So please stop reopening this report unless you actually hit one. If you more need, check the links at help http://en.opensuse.org/Communicate. -- Problem: libapt-pkg-libc6_8-6-2-0.5.15lorg3.2-78.1.x86_64 requires librpm-4.4.so()(64bit), but this requirement cannot be provided The new zypper needs a new librpm. librpm-4.4 belongs to the the old 11.1 rpm. You've got several apt related 11.1 packages, that wont work with the 11.2 rpm. As there's no update for them, the solver asks you what to do. If you are uncertain what to do, try 'zypper up --force' instead. The solver won't ask you how to resolve the conflict, but suggest to delete the conflicting packages. Check whether the suggested deletions are acceptable, and proceed if they are. If they are not, you need to find an 11.2 based repo that provides newer versions of the software which works on 11.2 -- or you stay with 11.1. -- 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.

Created an attachment (id=333744) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=333744) [details] questionable suggestion for package dependency resolutions

According to the testcase you sent: on Thu Apr 2 2009 you installed NetworkManager-glib-0.7.0.r4359-15.2.2 i586 and x86_64 at the same time (manually using 'rpm -i'? zypper/yast would not have done this.). That's what now causes some confusion. I hope you took Solution 2: architecture change of NetworkManager-glib-0.7.0.r4359-15.2.2.i586 to NetworkManager-glib-0.7.1_git20090811-4.2.x86_64 So NetworkManager-glib is now again installed only once.

I find it suspect that dependency resolution for software components like "Advanced Packaging Tool" and "Boost" causes so many unexpected difficulties.

The problem mostly arises from the fact that there is no repo with apt packages for 11.2. The packages were AFAIK dropped. If you'd disable the 11.1 repos and perform a zypper dup, the solver will probably consider those packages being orphaned, and suggest to delete them if they cause trouble. But keeping them on your system you maintain a small "11.1 environment" for them. This is what causes the problems. It's not the software, but the fact that it's old (compared to your system). -- 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.

Will the YaST package management ever support different releases for software components in parallel use?

First of all it's the package that must support this. It does not help much to install 2 versions in parallel, if one damages the other. With the latest versions, you can configure which packages should be installed in parallel. The solver will correctly handle this, and also the Qt-GUI will support selecting the individual versions. This feature might(!) become available on 11.2 with an next online update. But you'll also need packages that support this. -- 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.
