Hi List
doing the 'zypper dup' on my TW laptop today presented me 7 downgrades:
The following 7 packages are going to be downgraded: gdk-pixbuf-devel gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders-32bit gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer libgdk_pixbuf-2_0-0 libgdk_pixbuf-2_0-0-32bit typelib-1_0-GdkPixbuf-2_0
All those packages came from the normal TW repo, about a week ago, but now no longer are in there - that's why zypper reports them as (System Packages)
I haven't seen notifications about this change - are they not announced anywhere, and why does it happen in first place? Security? Stability?
Just curious...
(Postig this to 'normal' OS list on purpose, as suggested in some recent discussions - this is a 'simple user question'(?))
Downgrades are typically fine and shouldn't be worried about - packages, and upstreams repeatedly change their version numbering and zypper will recognise that as a 'downgrade' when the number decreases, even if in reality it's a later version. I think that is the likely explanation for this problem - for the exact one, you could parse all of the Tumbleweed snapshot announcements for the packages involved which will include the description of what version was 'upgraded' to what new version. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
