Anyway, that's not the worst of YOU's problems - it uses it's own internal patch manager and never consults rpm.
What?!?!?! Holy crap...
There are a number of dependencies I've resolved and indeed packages I've installed by searching the 'Net and rpm'ing into place, both from the command-line and using GUI package managers. It was my expectation with these tools, and with YOU, that the underlying rpm-database was sound, current, and accurate.
I would like to point out here that I'm only referring to Yast Online Update, not the rest of YaST2 which does an admirable job of handling rpm. Which is why I don't understand the absurd patch handling of YOU - quite obviously the YaST2 programmers know how to work with rpm.
I did not know about these problems... Yes, I agree these are really serious issues, Jonathan.
Does anyone think I should post to BugTraq? Or is there a better place then that for these kinds of issues? I suppose I should start with suse-linux-e.... ---------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Wilson System Administrator Cedar Creek Software http://www.cedarcreeksoftware.com Central Texas IT http://www.centraltexasit.com
