Hello mailing list!
I have the following mystery I would like to understand. When I run zypper dup this is the output I get:
" The following 5 applications are going to be REMOVED:
ImagePlugin-Color ImagePlugin-Decorate ImagePlugin-Enhance ImagePlugin- FxFilters ImagePlugin-Transform
No additional space will be used or freed after the operation. Nothing to do. "
I don't see any of these packages in the repositories, though a quick online search tells me they are digikam related. Anyone here who could inform me as to what may be going on?
It says 'applictions' - not packages... there is a subtle difference. In this case, the issue is that the meta data generated for the packages is not fully correct. With the info at hand, zypper knows 'I have this now installed, but per the info I receive, the new 'package' no longer has the 'reference to the application'. In fact, it's about 'plugins' here.
Using zypper, you can search for apps for example using: zypper se -t application
This is getting more an more interesting as 'users are interested in applications, not packages' - packages are a technicality.
Cheers, Dominique
Latest zypper dup seems to have fixed the problem on the computer I am writing this email from. Interestingly enough, I am sitting beside another laptop I just converted to a Tumbleweed machine mere hours ago showing the same message. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
