If I run smart, fix it tells me I have no problems to resolve.

to see who built the package, from cl run: rpm -q <pkg-name> --changelog | head the first line will be a date and email addr of the builder

ie: rpm -q --changelog yast2-storage | head * Mon Jun 12 2006 - fehr@suse.de

My solution is - sudo rm -vrf /var/lib/smart/packages/* (before running smart upgrade) smart upgrade --download sudo rpm -Uvh --force /var/lib/smart/packages/*.rpm (if you have too many for rpm to swallow at once, do it in chunks and use --nodeps) Yes, I'm saying it won't do much harm to force the bastard. The bug's been known about for ages - smart just needs a --force switch to pass on to rpm then the problem is solved IMO. -- /"Horst Günther Burkhardt III"-------------------\ | There's no place like localhost (127.0.0.1) | | http://peanuthorst.livejournal.com/ <- blog | \-----------------------------/

In general: file a bugreport and point out the problem.

According the change log: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Mar 30 08:24:50 CEST 2007

- SCR agent proc_meminfo.scr moved from yast2-storage to yast2 - Adjusted RPM dependencies

So, if the *new* yast2-storage contains the file, then file a bugreport. If it's a conflict of the old version and the new yast2, then smart does not do the right thing while updating,

It definitely does, but it depends on the user action. It's most probably that smart doesn't "see" the upgrade of both packages (yast2 and yast2-storage). Maybe the repository metadata wasn't up-to-date. Edward, try running "smart update" again to refresh the metadata and then run smart upgrade yast2\* But it might be a bug in the package (as AJ just explained above). cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGIyWvr3NMWliFcXcRAjG7AJ0bPLeD/Zsqz37PpkKOOjbCXF6nlACfcaZe 2oAEep820Jf360oVAcNARGE= =U0eg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

(As pointed out before, please file a bugreport on the file conflicts.) In the meantime, you can workaround the problem by running

smart upgrade -o rpm-force=True

WHEW..Did this and it worked swell, Thank you.Took time though. This brings up several questions. 1. Did this smart upgrade turn alpha2+ into alpha 3? 2. Was there a danger of downloading corrupted files? 3. I look at the smart and rpm man pages and was unable to see the options you recommended and that I used. Where did they come from?
