[opensuse-factory] cannot update from 10.2 to 10.3 RC1
I couldn't update an opensuse 10.2 with 10.3 RC1 because an unresolvable dependency resolution timeout What is this??? Is there a way to force updating anyway? IMO, if there's a package conflict, yast can't resolve it, ok, just leave it, who cares, it will not work anyway. Or the package doesn't exist on any repository, it has no conflict, why want to remove it?, just leave it. Is there an expert instalation mode or something like that available? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Yes! First, copy all the package do You will to upgrade to a directory of You hard disk. Or copy all the packages, and later delete from it the packages do You do'nt want to install. Then execute: # rpm -Uh --nodeps --force --replacepkgs *.rpm A safer way to upgrade is to make the upgrade via smart, with the right repos and mirrors. If smart fails to install after downloading the 100% of the packages because the same dependency problem, you can go to /var/lib/smart/packages and executing the same command: rpm -Uh --nodeps --force --replacepkgs *.rpm Later You can refine the software installation with yast software or smart --gui. Good Luck! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
