Hello List ,

this evening , zypper dup -d produces :

" The following 2 NEW packages are going to be installed: kernel-default-4.2.3-1.4

The following package is going to be REMOVED: kernel-default-4.2.3-1.1

in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf the following line is un-commented :

multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel)

.........................

calling " zypper dup ' , after the TW change from kernel-desktop to kernel-default , zypper requires the removal of the old kernel-default when installing new kernel-default

. . . How can one have zypper dup keep multiversions ?

Multiple rebuilds of the same version cannot be installed in parallel anyway, they overwrite each other. So only the last installed package will be physically present. So this is a bug fix. It resulted in RPM conflict in the past.

But now I ask myself why "zypper up" does not install it ... 10:~ # zypper dup Warning: You are about to do a distribution upgrade with all enabled repositories.

Because both contain filenames ending with "4.2.3-1", rather than "4.2.3-1.4" vs. "4.2.3-1.1".

Could you elaborate? How filenames inside RPM are related to comparing two RPM versions and choosing one with higher version? I just try to understand what zypper logic is based on. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

then rpm -Uvh kernel*

should work, I am presently doing that but dl appears somewhat slow today :) ...........

- thank you Patrick : tried this , added zypper al kernel-default-4.2.3-1.1.x86_64

but,

i guess i did something wrong , because after commanding :

rpm -Uvh kernel-default-4.2.3-2.1.g202286f.x86_64.rpm

nevertheless , the locked kernel-default-4.2.3-1.1.x86_64 got removed anyway :(

The explanation, iiuc, is that you still have the same kernel, 4.2.3, just a maintenance update of the existing, not a *new* kernel and version. But the same thing occurred with the switch to kernel-default..... -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
