I assume that this is for Tumbleweed. Using "--no-allow-downgrade" is probably a bad idea for Tumbleweed.
First of all how does a downgrade come up at all given the initial command switch? Seems to me that ignoring any repo package that requires a downgrade would be the zypper behavior. In the above case it would mean an automatic 'keeping' of the installed version. Second, how does a newer version become obsolete in favor of an older one? Which version is presently on the repo, was it backleveled to the 'downgrade' version??
Software is upgraded to a newer version. It turns out that there are serious bugs in that new version. So the Tumbleweed maintainers revert to the previous version. The newer version becomes obsolete because it has been removed from the repo. So "zypper dup" attempts to synchronize with what is in the repo. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
