[Bug 625426] New: packages from OSS repository are bypassed on upgrade

Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See above Actual Results: YaST never told me a Mercurial upgrade was available on the OSS repository. Expected Results: YaST should, as a minimum, have told me (either during the 11.2 => 11.3 upgrade or when I invoked "Online Update" thereafter) that an upgrade was available. Additional info: I don't know (how _could_ I know) which other OSS and/or non-OSS packages, if any, are still ready for an upgrade which YaST won't tell me is available. -- 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.

This is something different than 'just' updating all the installed packages to newer versions available in any of the available repositories; like e.g 'zypper up' would do. The problem here is that YaST performed the update based on the 11.3 ISO. After the package update is done, the online repos were added. AFAIK the ISO does not contain mercurial, that's why it did not get updated. And the "Online Updates" performed later on are not suitable to update any packages introduced by the online repos. IMO the best would be to perform the update based on the online repos, or at least perform a 'zypper dup' after the update from ISO in order to introduce the latest versions of all packages. Downside of the 2nd way is, that installed packages which are not available on the ISO and which do get involved into some dependency conflict, may get deleted by the solver. If there is no enabled repo providing a package, the package is considered as being discontinued, thus the solver prefers to delete it rather than not updating some well known package. -- 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.

So there's no way out of zypper, there are _absolutely necessary_ actions which YaST cannot perform. Sheesh, too bad. I just started "zypper up" and I'm surprised by the high number of packages it found needed an upate: 2016, many of them "debuginfo" packages which apparently YaST did not find when I told it "Extra => Install all matching debuginfo packages" from the live 11.3 system with all the 11.3 repos that I care about (including debug) enabled and the Internet connected. Ah la la. I guess I'll go to bed and see in the morning if it has finished. -- 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.

Instead of 'zypper up' one can select YaSTs 'Package -> All Packages -> update if newer version is available'. The result is similar, but IMO zypper does a slightly better job under certain conditions. I reopen the bug and pass it to the YaST guys: Maybe it's worth thinking about improving the update workflow. On could suggest to immediately include the online repos when performing the update. If the user does not want to, one should tell him (2nd stage?) how to complete the upadte after the online repos were added. IMO best would be another 'dup' (to also catch renamed/splited packages outside the DVD), at least to suggest an 'update'. @Thomas: 'update if newer version is available' could be easily improved to match 'zypper up'. With this being done, Tony could complete the update without leaving YaST ;) -- 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.

@Thomas: 'update if newer version is available' could be easily improved to match 'zypper up'. With this being done, Tony could complete the update without leaving YaST ;)
In particular, the first bootup of the newly version-upgraded system (which doesn't use the same inittab or whatever than all later bootups, but, unlike the part of the update which is run from the DVD system, has a working Internet connection) might propose (from a YaST window maybe, opened at "Installation Summary" to allow user tweaks, and with the usual [ Cancel ] [ Accept ] at bottom) to update all packages for which a new version is available. This would allow upgrading from other repositories than the main DVD disk image, and it would make this "update packages" function of YaST more discoverable. BTW, that "zypper up" job launched shortly after comment #4 is still running: package 1094 of 2016, kernel-desktop-debuginfo. I'll leave it running later today when I go to the snackbar, it seems to work quite well unattended. But YaST+Qt is better-looking. -- 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 this bug still apply to current software? I have also changed my daily routine: I run "zypper lu" in konsole to see if there are available upgrades. If there are, YaST will list patches (from the Update, Update-Debug, Update-Test and Update-Test-Debug repositories) but not new versions not distributed as patches (e.g. from the Packman repository). The latter I upgrade manually with the help of YaST's Search function. Is there anything more to be done to get all available upgrades? (And I'm asking questions, but I didn't set the NEEDINFO status: that was in comment #11 two months ago.) -- 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.

Could you please explain how YQPackageSelector::globalUpdatePkg( bool force ) and YQPkgObjList::setAllItemStatus( S_Update) needs to be improved?
- In YQPkgObjListItem::init I see _installedIsNewer/_candidateIsNewer set based on a simple version compare: ( candidate->edition() < installed->edition() ) - In YQPkgList::globalSetPkgStatus I see in 'case S_Update:' 'doChange = ( installed->edition() < candidate->edition() );' - In YQPkgObjList::setAllItemStatus I see 'if ( newStatus == S_Update ) if ( item->candidateIsNewer()': 'item->setStatus( newStatus ). So the UI simply looks at the version and then selects the package. This is bad, because the highest version is not necessarily the best choice, especially if the same package is provided by multiple repos/vendors. The flaw in the current approach is that the UI should not look for a higher version, but check whether there is an 'updateCandidateObj' for this selectable. The Selectable will return an item which is likely to be chosen by the solver as well (at least an item that fits all active solver policies), or NULL if no available package fits the current solver policies. (Keep in mind that you need to call setCandidate, if the updateCandidateObj and candidateObj are different) -- 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.
