Why would the upgrade of zypper have to do anything to kde3? It is a text mode application.
Hi, it is quite simple. Answer is dependencies. After each update system still must working.
System, yes... but not everything, a dup is something drastic.
You want update zypper -> require new libzypp -> I think that old yast bindings doesn't work with old libzypp due to ABI changes -> update yast ->
But why update yast? It was not requested. Sure, yast will not work - so what? If the user wants to update yast, he will do a zypper dup yast as well.
new yast require new qt-bindings -> update qt -> and this leads to get remove kde3, because you don't have qt3 after this step ( I think it is related also to renaming of packages from name(name4 for kde4) to name3(name for kde4). so it naturally update to kde4 version your kde3 packages.
Yes, obviously yast depends on libzypp, but not the other way round. I can understand that updating yast pulls all those deps, but as libzypp should not depend on yast, I still do not see why updating libzypp should pull yast. Maybe I misunderstand the way a dependency works :-? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
