'jsfutils-1.1.14-31.1' not found.

Due to a typeo in comment #4: name is jfsutils (not jsfutils). ;) -- jfsutils-1.1.14 is no candidate for automatic update, because it's vendor is 'obs://build.opensuse.org/home:jnelson-suse' and the installed ones is 'openSUSE'. -- There've been several changes to the zypper commandline handling. At least the latest zypper (1.2.10) should support selecting a specific package version via: zypper in jfsutils-1.1.14-31.1 or zypper in --from "jnelson-suse's_Home_Project" jfsutils CAUTION: Zypper expects the repositories ALIAS as argument to --from. Don't mix it up with the NAME, which is shown in 'zypper se' Repository column. In doubt check 'zypper lr'. @Jano: It would IMO be a nice enhancement, if any repo spec was accepted, that matches either a repositories alias, or exactly one repos name. This way one could simply cut'n'paste from 'zypper se -s' output. -- 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.

I don't see how this can be resolved.

This is how it is designed to work, from the POV of the dependency resolver. However, this is a usability bug in zypper's UI, read on.

As far as I'm concerned, if package foo-1.0 is installed and package foo-2.0 is available to install, then I and everybody else would consider foo a candidate for upgrade.

zypper in jfsutils-1.1.14-31.1

*does* work, however 'zypper up' doesn't, and I think that a *lot* of people are going to find this very confusing.

They already do. What is missing here is that zypper up should report that it intentionally skipped jfsutils because that update would mean a change of vendor and hint what should be done to update such packages. I'll keep this bug open until the reporting is fixed or someone finds a duplicate (there are some IIRC). In the meantime, add file with the following content to your /etc/zypp/vendors.d/: [main] vendors=obs://build.opensuse.org/home:jnelson-suse @ma: is this correct, or would "vendors=home:jnelson-suse" suffice? Do we have this somewhere documented? I always have to learn this anew when i need it occasionally :O) -- 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.
