Hi all-

Doing a 'zypper dup --no-allow-vendor-change' on my TW box after a week or so since my last run of the command.

It is erroring out with: Checking for file conflicts: ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................[done] ( 1/1099) Removing appstream-glib-0.7.4+git.3-1.2.x86_64 .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................[error] Removal of (124438)appstream-glib-0.7.4+git.3-1.2.x86_64(@System)failed: Error: Subprocess failed.

I have the newer version of the package installed () so not sure why it's attempting to remove the older (or thinks it's installed).

How do I have the update database have an accurate inventory of all currently installed packages? 'zypper ref' and 'zypper dup' both run but leave me with the same situation described.

On forums user with similar problem reported that "zypper clean" helped. I suppose, removing /var/cache/zypp/solv/@System should force it to be recreated too.

Unfortunately, neither 'zypper clean' or removing /var/cache/zypp/solv/'@System' worked for me. I'm still experiencing a disconnect with what is actually installed vs. what zypper thinks is installed.

Is there some other way to get the correct installed packages info reflected with zypper?

Looks like you have a corrupted database. Sometimes running this kind of script help to make everything fine again I don't know why but on some ext4 computer, a reboot afterward and then the classical zypper -v ref -f && zypper -v dup work

This is the extract of the script used cat rpmdb_optimize.sh

#!/bin/sh sqlite3 /var/cache/zypp/zypp.db vacuum rpm --rebuilddb # takes long for fn in /var/cache/zypp/zypp.db \ /var/lib/rpm/[A-Z]* do echo "Processing $fn" cp -a $fn $fn.new || exit 1 mv -f $fn.new $fn done

Thank you Robert, Andrei, and Bruno for your replies. I ended up earlier doing a variation of the recommendations involving rebuilding the corrupt database with: sudo rpm --rebuilddb && sudo zypper clean -a && sudo zypper ref This worked for me. -- Cheers, Trey ---- Adversity is the trial of principle.
