Can you verify which kernel and userspace is installed? -- 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.

This was never a problem up to openSUSE 11.3, because I had a mirror of the updates depot on a USB stick that I used to register as repository, and the usual yast online update worked. In openSUSE 12.1 however this was no longer true. Yast either refused to recognize any update when there was no Internet connection, or there were dependencies like "tunctl" that could neither be satisfied from the installation DVD nor from the update repository. zypper had the same problem, and the proposed solution to uninstall half of the system was not acceptable. ---END background--- So maybe the question is this: If you have installed foo-1.0.i586.rpm, and you have two updates, foo-1.1.i586.rpm and foo-1.2.x86_64.rpm, will "rpm -vF foo*.rpm" install foo-1.2.x86_64.rpm? If the answer is yes, the this would explain the problem. If the answer is no, will "--nodeps" install incompatible architectures (only --ignorearch should do)? If the answer is yes, it's another explanation (and a bug in RPM (IMHO)). If the answer is no, I have no idea what happened. -- 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.

That's totally ok with rpm, as i586 packages can be installed without --ignorearch. One could argue that -F should not change the architecture, but that doesn't seem to be implemented at the moment. Anyway, closing as invalid for 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.

It has nothing to do with the '-F' option. But (as said in #8) I agree that -F should not change the arch of a package. (That's an enhancement and not a bug, though) -- 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.
