http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=517550 Summary: Newer packages may hav lower version numbers Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: BuildService AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: squan@web.de QAContact: adrian@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.2; Linux) KHTML/4.2.90 (like Gecko) SUSE There is an inconsisteny in the package numbering scheme, at least in factory packages: It happens that newer packages have lower version numbers then packages published earlier. In opensSUSE milestone 3 at least 50 kde4 packages and other packages like e.g libusb, python-doc and libqscintilla are affected. E.g. I'm currently running pre milestone 3 kde4-akonadi-4.2.90-130.2 and the milestone 3 package is versioned with kde4-akonadi-4.2.90-2.3. Yast will not offer these new packages for upgrade (and I suppose zypper will not as well). Possibly this will compromise package dependency resolution. Thus chances are high that a system upgrade will result in a mix of pre and post milestone packages. I suspect that this could result in an installation with incompatible packages. If so it would also result in unreproducable (and worthless) bug reports. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install openSUSE factory 2. Wait a few days 3.
