[opensuse-factory] Recent factory updater
Folks be aware of the fact the most recent update to this machine in attempt to just get audio files has removed about all of the development packages without replacing them. xine-lib will no longer compile due to missing gnome libs which were found to be missing the correct links to /usr/lib. So far about every required libfile.ls is missing. So, far taglibs, libdaemon and libdaemon-gtk.so are missing Advice - be very careful if you use the SuSE updater. Oh yea - the updater even screwed up Yast - it was looking for a .so.4 lib which was missing. I fixed the by linking it to the only file which was a .so.3 -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email: " n5xwb@hal-pc.org " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 Did you know?

Hi,
Advice - be very careful if you use the SuSE updater.
You should report such issues to bugzilla instead of discouraging users from testing factory. In your bugzilla report, be very specific about the information you provide (which updater are you using: we have lots of them; which .so.3 is causing problems; we have lots of them) and attach logfiles. Advising people to be careful with the SuSE updater does not get the bugs fixed.
Oh yea - the updater even screwed up Yast - it was looking for a .so.4 lib which was missing. I fixed the by linking it to the only file which was a .so.3
Never create such symlinks, this is wrong. If this would work (which it doesn't), the library had not been renamed from .so.3 to .so.4 in the first place. I'm guessing that with .so.3 and .so.4, you mean libcurl. Yes, this library had a major update recently, but there is a compatibility package, so this should not have happened. (The update worked for me). If it didn't work smoothly for you, this is a bug that must be fixed instead of being worked around. Andreas Hanke -- "Feel free" - 10 GB Mailbox, 100 FreeSMS/Monat ...

In a direct email, I've pointed to the correct version of curl that has been available in factory since 23rd. Feb. I've only had one problem with YaST for which I opened a bug and that was fixed by yast2-packager-2.15.18-2, bugzilla delivers, but quite often problems are due to local screwups, the worst can be caused by people using "make install" of an updated local source build, hence I always recommend using "checkinstall" and "rpm -Uvh" to keep the RPM database honest.

Does this mean that you were able to update without any warning about broken dependencies ? Please create a bugreport in that case, otherwise it is just your fault that you updated to an inconsistent state ;) bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
