I have stopped using zypper after a number of what I would consider strange behaviours. For example, it would "tell" me that there were no updates to be done even though I knew that, say, a new kernel was available - which I knew from doing updates on my wife's computer.
So I now use YaST>Package>All Packages>Update if Newer Packages are available. Works everytime.
I have got to this point in YaST but did not go ahead with actually doing the updates, exited YaST and went to zypper only to find that zypper showed that there was nothing to do; but YaST showed that there was a "ton" of updates to be done.
I just tried that and found there were hundreds of updates. So I stepped through the ones I used most and what did I find. They weren't updates; the revision it wanted to install was the same revision I already had installed. Hey! Surely that list would show in one column the new revisions in blue along side the old in black? There was none of that! My opinion: zypper was telling me the right stuff and yeast was wrong. -- HTML has followed nature's example... bright, sometimes flashing, colors are a sign of indigestiblility. -- Rob Hartill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
