I am not sure if the bug should still be open. zypper tells regular that 20101214-2.2 has a higher priority than the version 2.6.38-34.2 According to the rpm -q --info (see below) the old package is also from tumbleweed. So an automatic update is not working for tumbleweed users which used the old version kernel-firmware-20101214-2.2). I know to help myself. Tumbleweed users should be able to do self care, but may be it's openSUSE policy to change/do this within the repository. speedy:# zypper se -s kernel-firmware Daten des Repositorys laden ...

It's unfortunate that 20101214 is "newer" than 2.6.38 for rpm. So zypper refuses to install the "older" version. It was switched to the new numbering (date -> kernel version) with _service file addition. I'm not fully convinced it's sane as it is now. Maybe the <version> element should be removed from the _service file? Then the package will have the unix timestamp of the top commit of the FW tree. -- 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's unfortunate that 20101214 is "newer" than 2.6.38 for rpm.

Maybe the solution would be to put into the .spec file: Obsoletes: kernel-firmware = 20101214 I don't know if it will work. I'll try later. -- 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.
