My experience with 10.2 has been just as full of update problems, and I haven't even done anything remotely weird with packman repos or anything. All I did was install from the DVD iso, pick most optional packages to install, then occasionally try to run updates.
I'd like to see concerted attention and effort applied to creating a working package system for opensuse. This is so fundamental, I can't understand why it is taking so long to solve. Are all the developers preoccupied with compiz and beagle and new menu styles? In its present condition, opensuse is unusable in my opinion.

Bryan, the rest of the thread make clear that inexperience played a role in the problems. Tom made some mistakes that he didn't know about, like including Factory repository that is pre-alpha, to install one package, but then you get all in that repository in your Software Management, and from there it is easy to make another mistake and update application to some pre-alpha code. BTW, giving opinion about openSUSE as Mandriva user is IMHO somewhat displaced on this list. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
