Of course, you know better (as usual), but *why* does running the "depmod ..." command and _nothing else_ solve the issue then? Any constructive ideas?
Your command line included about dozen of different commands. So saying "depmod and nothing else" is simply wrong unless you can demonstrate that running depmod only does it.
Misunderstanding here! As I tried to indicate, I don't have a clear explanation, I just found out that in such situations, running _some_ commands like "depmod ... sync; sync" *always* solves the problem here. In fact, every once in a while "zypper up" or "zypper dup" shows such behaviour, and I always _thought_ that it would be caused by some inconsistencies between rpm and zypper cache or whatsoever. Running _some_ commands which obviously have an influence on some caches always remove these conflicts, and these commands *never* installed/uninstalled any packages, it was just a matter of massaging the system internal buffers. That's why I said there must be some interference between some layers... Because it's not predictable I never created a bugzilla for this, though... (But, as I wrote before, it's happening on all of my systems, so it's not some HW related problem) Cheers. l8er manfred
