[opensuse-factory] Package version problem
On a new 10.2GM system which was installed from DVD I ticked oss and non-oss as further installation sources sometime during the installation process (oss was already ticked). With a few exceptions, default KDE install. Now yast->software management shows a large number of installed packages which are newer than the version on DVD. The first only: rpm -q 3ddiag 3ddiag-0.738-29 DVD: find dvd-suse10.2_i386/ | grep 3ddiag dvd-suse10.2_i386/suse/i586/3ddiag-0.738-26.i586.rpm Recursive directory listing from gwdg.de: -rw-r--r-- 30817 2006/11/28 13:58:34 repo/oss/suse/i586/3ddiag-0.738-29.i586.rpm The repo version is newer for probably hundreds of packages. That's going to create some chaos. What's the point of installing from DVD when the installation then goes and downloads perhaps a 5th of the packages from the repo server? (The list of packages can be saved from yast, but it includes only the available version, not the installed version, so I can't grep to count). Would it be a good recommendation to make sure to untick the oss installation source when installing from any local source, like DVD/CD/ftp copy/etc?

Sorry I didn't interpret porperly: all installed packages are newer on repo than on DVD. However there seems to have been no net traffic spike; but the installed packages have the repo version (o.k., rpm release number), not the DVD one. When disabling the repo installation sources leaving only the DVD source, all installed packages are shown in red (newer installed than available). This doesn't seem to happen with packages installed after initial installation. What I can't work out is why the installed packages are newer than the DVD packages when nothing was downloaded... As there are repo packages which aren't on the DVD, it's sort of necessary to have the repo configured as source too.

I don't think I ran an update yet, and the traffic would have to have been really low.
