Summary: ZMD - unable to resolve dependancies
Product: openSUSE 10.2
Version: Final
Platform: i686
OS/Version: SuSE Other
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 - None
Component: Update Problems
AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com
ReportedBy: alpha096(a)tpg.com.au
QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com
ZMD is unable to resolve dependencies - see screen shot and attached files.
I am impressed with ZMD's update reliability - however I am still of the
opinion that ZMD having root authority is remove an entire installation. I feel
this is an unacceptable internal risk. I feel that ZMD functions very well now
in installing updates etc, however I feel that giving the user 2 click to
remove the entire installation a totally unacceptable internal risk.
I feel this should be removed.
Q. Would there be any advantage into creating an authoritative user which is
not root that ZMD could function correctly. Any application with permenent root
authority concerns me

Unable to attach ZMD file 2 of 3 and 3 of 3 as bugzilla treats .BZIP2 files as
empty have 0 bytes which is not the case. The attached files shows most current
log files - please advise IF you require auto compressed .BZIP2 log files and I
will manually extract each and re compress to another format. Please consider
correcting this fault in Bugzilla. Even if you define the file type upload it
reports file as 0 bytes.
Let me know and if you require them I will do as above.

It does not seem to be a problem.
While doing resolve dependency ZMD found that there are some patches which need
to be installed in order to install the selected package does not apply to the
system. There are some to-be-installed packages which conflict with already
installed packages.
Thats why ZMD gave the message(Not error) that the Dependency Resolution Failed
in stead of installing incompatible/conflicting packages/patches and creating
problems for other applications and making the system unstable.

Yes it is a problem. In normal situations where ZMD fines a conflict it offers
the user the option to delete/keep the conflicting items and the user is able
to be guided into resolving the dependencies in a similar way to software
management.
The title of the error message was 'unable to resolve dependencies' as it was
unable to guide the user into what needs to be deleted in order for most of the
selected packages to be installed. In the extreme case presented the system
made no attempt in asking the user that in order to keep X the user needs to
not (delete) install Y
Comment #4 is invalid

Could you please attach the zmd.db or make it available on another server, if
it is too large for bugzilla ?
Another possibility:
Please to try to reproduce the error with YaST Online Update and generate a
testcase described here:
http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST#I_want_to_report_a_bug_related_to_package_…
And a last possibility:
Restart the ZMD server with the environment ZYPP_FULLLOG=1, reproduce this bug
and attach the logfiles again:
export ZYPP_FULLLOG=1; rczmd restart

In version 11.0 - 11.1 this dependency issue has a new option
"Ignore Some Dependency issues with nnnnnnnn"
If the user selects this option good help them - the RPM database is guaranteed
to fully corrupt.
The option of this new "Ignore Some Dependency issues with nnnnnnnn"
is not acceptable at all and offer no valuable solution to any dependency
issues.
Happy to leave this as wontfix until this option of "Ignore Some Dependency
issues with nnnnnnnn"
Starts to create more and more user issues that will almost certainly present
some time in 11.0 and 11.1
