I'm having trouble understanding YaST Online Update in Suse 10.2. There are various aspects I don't understand and I'm having trouble finding the appropriate docs (probably through stupidity). The Help button says "Refer to the manual for details". I've looked through the "openSUSE Documentation Reference" - specifically II.3 Online Update - but it doesn't give much detail. Is there some other documentation I've missed?
One aspect I don't understand is the meaning of the symbol consisting of a white box followed by a grey tick. This doesn't appear in the list of symbols on the help menu and the symbols aren't listed in the manual I've looked at. For example, timezone or wxGTK - the available and installed version are the same, so what are the patches?
This means that the packages for this patch are already installed, likely manually, but the "patch" isn't. You can just select the patch, click Accept and it will be gone.
Another aspect is why some patches are shown with a white triangle and white box with a black tick when the packages themselves have a black triangle with a green and white Z (e.g. krb5). Other patches for packages marked in this way are themselves marked with a white triangle and a green and white Z (e.g. python). What's the difference?
refresh, some packages have been installed that do not satisfy the patch.
The final aspect is specific to gtk2. There is a patch for gtk2, which I have installed. Why can't I see a matching patch to gtk2-debuginfo? There's a version conflict. Am I misunderstanding something or is this a bug?
We do not ship updates for -debuginfo packages, you need to deinstall gtk2-debuginfo before updating. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
