I try to upgrade my system and see that if I update m4 from 1.4.4-12@i586 to 1.4.5-2@i586,smart delete my autoconf 2.60-2@i586 because is related with the old m4 version.I can't see any new autoconf on factory directory... Is it normal this lack?
I asked the same question on #opensuse a week or so ago but got no answer. The underlying question goes much further though: Is it intentional that it is possible to have missing dependencies in the published factory tree: When the system smart-updated directfb, several other packages got removed as well. What was even better was a while ago, when udev was split into udev + somelib, and somelib wasn't published for one more week or so. So the core question is: Is it a valid state, that packages in factory can be inconsistend?
smart tries by design to get the very latest of everything. Even if it means to remove some packages that rely on older versions. Imho this design is stupid. but you can use: smart --shell upgrade and than issue "keep package" for all packages you want to keep darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory-help@opensuse.org
