https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1223986 Bug ID: 1223986 Summary: conflicting package gets selected during zypper dup Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp Assignee: zypp-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: ohering@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 874710 --> https://bugzilla.suse.com/attachment.cgi?id=874710&action=edit vlc-beta.zypper.solverTestCase.tar.xz There is a pkg named "vlc-beta", which is supposed to be installed only if explicitly requested, like 'zypper in vlc-beta'. There are Conflict tags in 'vlc-beta' for this purpose. The Obsolete tags in 'vlc-beta' are supposed to wipe all subpackages from the ordinary 'vlc' pkg, in case 'vlc-beta' is installed either manually or via zypper. Doing "zypper dup -l --no-recommends" will replace rpms from pkg 'vlc' with 'vlc-beta', which is unexpected. I just noticed this also happens in Leap now. What Conflicts/Obsoletes/Provides tags are actually required in 'vlc-beta.spec' to make sure it does not get selected? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
