FYI,
a colleague of mine just did these changes: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I think one of our oldest scripts in our SuSE Linux/SUSE Linux/openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise history is now finally gone: /sbin/SuSEconfig
R.I.P.

I think we have fixed all the packages that used SuSEconfig and will blacklist it now in rpmlint,
Andreas I run zypper on my (desktop) system every day to install any patches and any updates to the system.
I then run SuSEconfig which I have always understood was needed to be run to update the database of installed software and version.
Are you saying that running SuSEconfig after zypper has never been necessary and that the advice given years ago to do so was wrong? We're saying that you're the only one that remembers to run SuSEconfig manually ;) - and everybody else forgets about it. Therefore we want a solution that works for everybody in an automatic way - independend of which package manager you use...
Andreas OK, thanks for the explanation.
But you also say, "...we want a solution that works......" indicating that this is in the "hoping to have it working at some future date" phase. Updates to programs now coming online for, say, 12.2 will have this new feature? I have some friends who do the same as me re SuSEconfig so I had better warn them about this and about the timing of the introduction of this new 'advancement'.
