factory has an iptables that needs libxtables9, but only libxtables10 is available in factory!?
As I told you before, factory iptables requires libxtables10. You are not running factory iptables.
I found that out -- I had downloaded both the iptables and libxtables at the same time, but I must have got caught when one was updated and not the other.
I made sure the versions agreed and d/l source -- it matches up.. so hopefully that one is put to bed.
It is not, BTW, the only product I've found out of sync with its libraries -- though I'm sure it gets corrected 'soon' -- would be nice if dependent products were released to servers at the same time... maybe that's the plan, but just things falling through the cracks...?
Linda, Although I only use factory snapshots, I believe there are 3 flavors of factory. The best known 2 are raw factory where things hit whenever they hit and factory snapshots where true milestones and RCs are released from. Snapshots are manually created based on a schedule and when things appear stable No snapshots have been produced since 12.3 was released almost 2 months ago, so you may find it too slow to update. The middle ground is factory-tested: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Factory-tested Factory-tested is more likely to have coordinated package releases so they are safer to run. Factory tested updates come out at random intervals based on what is hitting factory and what it's quality is. An automated tool checks for basic package consistency and pulls a "tested" release when things look good. (See the wiki for a better description of the process). I believe coordinated package release like you mention would go into the release of Factory-tested packages, not the release of raw factory packages. For core packages, I believe that already happens because the openQA install would fail if the packages were not in sync. For packages not tested by OpenQA, even in factory-tested there is no automated coordination that I know of.
