[opensuse-factory] zypper up wants to remove iscsitarget?

I have a storage server running 12.2 Factory - I was having problems getting the right version of the iscsi_trgt module, so I thought I'd try "zypper up", but it reports it wants to remove iscsitarget? This is what I am testing, so what's the story? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-0.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

might be still a lingering RPM obsoletes between "tgt" and "iscsitarget". Yes. You probably have tgt. ;) Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Marcus tgt isn't installed, but zypper up reports it as a new package to be installed?? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Only the zypper testcase can tell finally, but this might happen if iscsitarget-kmp-<flavour> is installed already, it sees tgt as a valid requirement for itself.

I have iscsitarget-kmp-default installed - apparently the wrong kernel version, but no update seems to be available. It doesn't mention tgt though: provides: multiversion(kernel), iscsitarget-kmp = 1.4.20_k3.1.0_2, iscsitarget-kmp-default = 1.4.20_k3.1.0_2-11.1, requires: /bin/sh, coreutils, grep, rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) recommends: iscsitarget enhances: kernel-default supplements: kernel-default & iscsitarget Hmm, weird. Anyway, I banned 'tgt', then I tried zypper up again, now it works. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

the supplements iscsitarget pulls in tgt as first choice, which obsoletes icsitarget. It is a bit weird behaviour, but to the updatestack it looks like icsitarget should be replaced by tgt which is why it does this action.

This happens since quite some time IIRC, it happened to me for sure during the update from SLES11 to SLES11SP1. The reason is that iscsitarget is deprecated and should tgt is its replacement. At least that's how I understood the issue. -- Stefan Seyfried "Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body!" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

It's difficult to tell from yast - if you search for 'iscsi', there is no mention of 'tgt'. I also don't think yast2 is ready to configure tgt (it looks like ietd.conf is still being used for instance). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
