[opensuse-packaging] OBS package release number < default package release number... bug?
There are some packages in the openSUSE Build Service that "update" packages from the default installation but that have a release number minor than the package from the defaut installation. An example: - openSUSE 10.3 comes with fileshareset-2.0-372 RPM, that has been updated to fileshareset-2.0-372.5. The source RPM is kdebase3-3.5.7-87[.5]. - KDE:KDE3 OBS repository, from where a lot of people updates to KDE 3.5.8, has fileshareset-2.0-41.1 from kdebase3-3.5.8-41.1 source RPM. When I see such a thing should I report it to bugzilla? This concrete case is problematic... I use Smart and have KDE:KDE3 repository with a higher priority. So it always prefers fileshareset-2.0-41.1 over fileshareset-2.0-372.5 even if the release number is minor. I think that's the best I can do... I don't know what fileshareset really is, but to avoid compatibility problems is better to have all the packages from the same source RPM. The problem happens if I try to use opensuse-updater. It tries to install fileshareset-4865-0 patch to install fileshareset-2.0-372.5 package. Since fileshareset patch requires "kdebase3 == 3.5.7-87.5" ~# LANG=C zypper patch-info fileshareset ... Provides: patch: fileshareset == 4865-0 Requires: atom: kdebase3-beagle == 3.5.7-87.5 atom: fileshareset == 2.0-372.5 atom: kdebase3-kdm == 3.5.7-87.5 atom: kdebase3-nsplugin == 3.5.7-87.5 atom: kdebase3-devel == 3.5.7-87.5 atom: kdebase3-session == 3.5.7-87.5 atom: kdebase3-32bit == 3.5.7-87.5 atom: kdebase3-ksysguardd == 3.5.7-87.5 atom: kdebase3-extra == 3.5.7-87.5 atom: kdebase3-samba == 3.5.7-87.5 atom: kdebase3-64bit == 3.5.7-87.5 atom: kdebase3 == 3.5.7-87.5 <<<<<<<<<<<<<-------------- but since I already have kde 3.5.8 zypper ends trying to install kdebase3-32bit... and with it also 25 additional packages/dependencies. I have never trusted libzypp, so forget that part... but the OBS fileshareset package with a relese number minor than the one from default openSUSE 10.3 should be reported like a packaging bug? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
