Programs having to be relinked and packages being re released are two very different things, No program should have had to be relinked so binaries not from openSUSE RPM's did not have to be rebuilt, however by the current design in tumbleweed it did cause a large number of packages to be updated. Which isn't great for users because the package manager needs to download them all but that is part of the understanding of using tumbleweed. At the same time it also shouldn't have broken anything once they used zypper to update. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
