[opensuse-factory] Warning: don't zypper up in X
Hi, I'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature, but updating to current Factory restarts X. This wouldn't be a problem in itself, but unfortunately zypper updates libzypp, then restarts X and by then it has forgotten to update zypper itself. So once you're back in X, there is no zypper to work with - because: zypper: error while loading shared libraries: libzypp.so.1419: cannot open shared object file You can work around it by doing "zypper up zypper" first, or call zypper from text console. Once you fell into the trap, you can do sudo rpm -Uvh http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/suse/x86_64/zypper-1.11.7-1.1.... and then continue with zypper up/dup.

You can also still install the zypper RPM that should be somewhere
in /var/cache/zypp/packages/${OSS}/suse/$(uname -m)

BTW, there is a new "zypper download" command that just takes the name of the package and does no dependency solving: zypper download zypper Of course, you need to run it before you fall into the trap :-) (since zypper 1.11.4) -- Duncan Mac-Vicar P. - http://www.suse.com/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Are you sure? I think not on my installations: # grep commit.down /etc/zypp/zypp.conf commit.downloadMode = DownloadAsNeeded Then again, I always upgrade libsolv-tools, *zypp* and rpm via zypper in before doing zypper dup. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Greetings, Stephan
I had the same problem on one out of 3 boxes. I noticed that the failing box's /usr/bin/zypper was dated May and the others June and /usr/lib64/libzypp.so.1420.1.0 was on all of them so I scp'd the June version over to fix it.

xdm now correctly uses the systemd macros that restart a service on update. I guess xdm cannot cope with that gracefully and shuts down it's X sessions instead of just restarting the main daemon.

Or run zypper in screen I guess, which is always a good idea anyways. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

DISABLE_RESTART_ON_UPGRADE environment variable should be set to "yes" in %postun before the %service_del_postun call, it will prevent the try-restart call on systemctl -- Frederic Crozat Project Manager Enterprise Desktop SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
