All,
Is there a simple way security updates can be tested to install cleanly on a Tumbleweed system?
Can we make that part of the process somehow?
No, that's not up to the security or maintance people, that's up to the tumbleweed developers.

I just tried to do a YOU, but I get a conflict that a typical user should not have to face just because they're using Tumbleweed:
What's a "YOU"?
Yast Online Update
It's the normal security update process that all users should use.
ie. Hopefully everybody is pulling / installing security updates.
I typically pull security updates by typing "you" at the command-line when I get the urge.
It was a bugfix update though.
I don't think the typical opensuse user knows virtualbox has to be compiled for a specific kernel.
And I assume the goal is for the "typical tumbleweed user" to be similar to the typical opensuse user.
Also, normally when there is a package conflict and one of the choices will break a package (or more), then the choices the user gets to select from explicitly say that. In this case, the choices don't make that clear.
I still think that you need to have a certain level of knowledge to try Tumbleweed though, and this includes resolving of such minor conflicts. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
