I couldn't update an opensuse 10.2 with 10.3 RC1 because an unresolvable dependency resolution timeout
What is this???
Is there a way to force updating anyway?
Yes! First, copy all the package do You will to upgrade to a directory of You hard disk. Or copy all the packages, and later delete from it the packages do You do'nt want to install. Then execute: # rpm -Uh --nodeps --force --replacepkgs *.rpm A safer way to upgrade is to make the upgrade via smart, with the right repos and mirrors. If smart fails to install after downloading the 100% of the packages because the same dependency problem, you can go to /var/lib/smart/packages and executing the same command: rpm -Uh --nodeps --force --replacepkgs *.rpm Later You can refine the software installation with yast software or smart --gui.
