Lets look at how *I* use "-f"
I run 'zypper up' and it tells me that various packages aren't going to be loaded. Priority, vendor ... Something.
So I run zypper info and stuff and find out what is installed and why it isn't going to be installed.
Then and only then and only IF there is some reason for installing that version I use the "-f" and I specify the full revision, not just the base package name. I specify EXACTLY what I want installed. EXACTLY!
[...] "--force" is even necessary for reinstalling a package of the same version. And suggested by zypper. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
