Hi,
This is a reminder to be extra careful if you use zypper update with current factory. Apparently because of a bug it seems possible that your complete system is deinstalled instead of being updated while running "zypper up -t package"
For details, please see Bug #301676.
Thanks, Dirk
I got bit before I saw this. Now I can't update anything because a bunch of files were erased, apparantly including the one that extracts the downloaded files from the rpm being upgraded. Which begs the question: Which file or files do I have to restore from the install DVD in order to get minimum update capability again? One of the files erased appears to have been the unzipper library which I think is LIBBZ2 so I'm not sure how to extract stuff from the rpms restored from the DVD.
I see that bug 301676 is marked 'resolved' fixed. Which version of zypper/libzypp contains the fix?
See comment #12 by Stefan Schubert: I have reverted the fix for Bug 299819 Package submitted 3.18.2 This is libzypp. Install at least this version plus a zypper that fits (for me, it's zypper-0.8.14). This might break some of dependencies to the YaST module, so I suggest to fix those as well. With this libzypp, you should have a working zypper again. I believe 'zypper up -t package' will try to fix also the broken dependencies from the disaster, but you better check the proposal zypper presents. HTH Stano
