You can easily replicate the issue. Open the openSUSE Updater Configuration manager. Make sure the following is unchecked "Show avaliable upgrades when backend provides them" Setup the Packman Community Repository Downgrade say.. Amarok to the version initially released with SUSE 10.3. do a zypper update You will notice it will try to upgrade Amarok to the version on the Packman repository and not the one on the Updates repo. -- 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.

Actually it is the zypper.log that would be of help here (http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper#Log) since the updater applet currently uses zypper to do the update.

Ben, please attach zypper.log (you can even delete it before you try to reproduce the problem so that it is smaller).

Also please specify which updater exactly do you use. Is is the KDE OpenSUSE Updater or Gnome?

I will add something soon. I will have to create a VM or wait for another package since I've flushed my Zypper logs since it originally happened (when I first setup my machine). Thanks.

In the meantime, Thomas, what does the updater do with the "3rd party updates" checkbox? If this checkbox is enabled opensuseupdater-kde shows another tab with packages (additional to the patches tab). The shown packages are the same as the output of 'zypper lu'. If the user wants to install such a package 'zypper in -type

IMO the problem is with the name of the check-box itself :O) Zypper does not have a way to enforce a specific vendor (don't know about libzypp). The check box is about 'patch updates' vs. 'package updates', not about 'suse updates' vs. '3rd party updates'. If only patch updates are enabled, if a particular package from a 3rd party repo satisfies requirements of a patch better than suse package, zypper will install that package. If this is a security risk, then the options are as mentioned below. If not, then the behavior is correct and we should close this bug as INVALID. The options: 1) have means of identification of the product repository and the update repository and use --repo to restrict the operation to these two. 2) implement vendor locking in zypper (libzypp?) and restrict the operation to suse vendor. 3) rename the checkbox to "Allow package udpates" :O) Thomas, how do you identify the update and the product repo? Once identified, do you use '--repo update-repo --repo product-repo' with the zypper command when the 3rd party checkbox is unchecked?
