[opensuse-kde] How about adding a codecs reinstall process to the Yast Package Manager for 11.3
I have noticed that every time I use zypper dup to update KDE, libxine1-codecs and k3b-codecs get removed. Is it possible to modify the package manager so that it backups up libxine1-codecs and k3b-codecs, update KDE and then reinstall the codecs back automatically. Can this be accomplished? Cheers!

If I understand what you describe, this is documented and expected behaviour. dup duplicates the state of the repo on your machine, updating or downgrading, and changing vendor in order to get the same versions as the repo. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

Makes sense. I think I will stick with 'zypper up' Thanks Carlos Cheers! Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

What is the exact command you use? 'zypper dup -r <kkfd-alias>'? otherwise I don't see why it'd remove stuff or have you disabled packman? Try instead 'zypper dup -r <kkfd-alias> -r <packman-alias>' Or just use 'zypper up' - dup should not be necessary - especially not when the initial vendor change has been done. Personally I prefer to use YaST for KDE updates. Go to Repository view for kkfd -> Right Click random package -> All in this list -> Update if newer is available. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Better use zypper dup --from <kkfd-alias> as this will not disable the other repos for the upgrade -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Why do you folks use dup at all? dup is for _distro_ upgrades not for simply updating a few packages. Simply use "up'" instead and be done with it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

While I agree in general with you. There are occasions (for KKFD) where it is better to use dup, e.g. -packages being renamed /obsolete -Newer version of a library is required and for this introduced in KKFD -For some unknown reason (some) packages are actually downgrades I now these are quite rare cases and usually when Beta releases of KDE are in KKFD. But I managed a few times to brake something with KKFD when only doing zypper up. So doing zypper dup --from KKFD and followed by zypper up for other repos is more save IMO. Of course it is most times superfluous and a plain zypper up would give the same result. Probably a matter of taste. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Most likely I will stick with the Yast when updating KDE. However, if I am in console mode, I guess 'zypper up' should work. Also, Packman should be disabled when updating KDE? Correct?

No. If it's _not_ available when dup'ing, that would explain why stuff is removed. If it _is_ present, then it's very strange that stuff is removed. But if you just refrain from unnecessary dup'ing in the future you shouldn't have such issues. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
