[Bug 730189] New: libnm-util2 required for NetworkManager.service to run
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=730189 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=730189#c0 Summary: libnm-util2 required for NetworkManager.service to run Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mpapis@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1 After last update and switch to systed the service NetworkManager.service was failing because of missing libnm-util2, after adding this package it started working - I think it should be immediate(virtual?) dependency of NetworkManager. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. remove gdm 2. install lightdm 3. enable NetworkManager.service 4. start NetworkManager.service Actual Results: NetworkManager.service starts because of missing symbols (which are provided in libnm-util2) Expected Results: NetworkManager.service should have libnm-util2 as dependency - so it can be installed together, and the service can be run as expected -- 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.

I can't reproduce getting a system with NM installed, but not libnm-util2. Did you happen to ignore some dependencies during update? Some versions not properly chosen? Also, it might me interesting to see what "zypper verify" reported while the problem prevailed (sadly, of course, you fixed the problem by now on your system). Can you actually reproduce the problem? -- 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.

I have also old package cnetworkmanager - which should be also removed? is it available with different name (I use it sometimes to debug network problems). -- 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.

libnm-util.so.2 is also provided by NetworkManager-glib which is installed and I guess it should be deprecated by NetworkManager-gnome - but it stayed in my system after updates.
NetworkManager-glib is obsoleted by libnm-util2. So the question is why you still have it installed. It should have been removed automatically. -- 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.

This makes 0,5hour usage of downloading packages (12Mbps network) and 1hour of installing packages, multiplying it by thousands of users you get thousands of wasted computer/hours which could be avoided by just not bumping versions because of new release. Should I create another ticket for this issue or it fits better to https://features.opensuse.org/ ? -- 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.

There is a supported way to update your system online/live, See http://en.opensuse.org/Upgrade#Running_the_Upgrade Which actually comes down do use 'zypper dup' (dist-upgrade). One very important step is to make sure there are no repos enabled that are not targeting the specific openSUSE release, as they are a clear cause to keep remainders hanging around and cause ill effects on the dist-upgrade process. About the version upgrades: it's almost obvious that almost every package get's touched at least once during a release cycle of 8 months... so a new version sounds in order... I'm closing the bug as the upgrade process is not in line with what is documented and what is considered supported. -- 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.
