[Bug 214239] New: yum: distroverpkg should be openSUSE-release, not suse-release
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214239 Summary: yum: distroverpkg should be openSUSE-release, not suse- release Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 5 plus Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de QAContact: qa@suse.de yum has the following line in /etc/yum.conf by default: distroverpkg=suse-release This works because it looks up the rpmdb for all packages that provide the value of distroverpkg if no package with exactly that name is installed, and takes the first one it can find. But this is very fragile, it would not work in the case where multiple packages provide suse-release. It should be: distroverpkg=openSUSE-release -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

I don't know of an installation source that provides more than one distroverpkg, other than some internal full trees. -> WORKSFORME? :) -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
