[Bug 240555] New: ZMD - unable to resolve dependancies
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=240555 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@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: alpha096@tpg.com.au QAContact: jsrain@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 -- 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.

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. -- 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.

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. -- 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.

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 -- 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.
