I don't think that can happen without zypper complaining that there's a problem with the patch, as 'zypper up' doesn't run in "forceResolve" mode (AFAIK). -- 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.

It doesn't call 'zypper in' with '--no-force-resolution'. (Actually I'm not sure if it can deal with update problems at all.)

(In reply to comment #4 from Thomas Goettlicher)

Right now the updater applet calls "zypper -x --non-interactive in -l -t patch $PATHNAME"

Jano, should I add "--no-force-resolution" to zypper's command line?

It should not be necessary, it should be set automatically when in --non-interactive mode. The log would tell. Ben, can you try to reproduce and provide the resulting zypper.log? @Thomas: Is it possible to run the applet from command line to be able to get the log (a believe the log is not created in /var/log/zypper.log because the applet runs with user rights) something like this: $ ZYPP_LOGFILE=myzypper.log opensuseupdater-kde -- 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.

something like this:

$ ZYPP_LOGFILE=myzypper.log opensuseupdater-kde Yes, you can run it this way.

I bet it's because "pure-ftpd" is in the "soft lock" list. Argh. This tells the solver that it should try to remove the package. The question is, how did it end up in that list? Did you deselect "pure-ftp" in the YaST UI at some point in the past. And maybe later on installed it via zypper (which doesn't update the soft lock list, but that's another bug)?

Is there a bug for this? If not, please create it, so that it does not get lost. -- 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.
