In what you posted before, that's impossible. You run zypper in dry-run mode, which means do not modify anything. And then, you did:
] dhcppc3:/media/SU1100.001/suse/i586 # rpm -q zypper ] zypper-0.11.6-4.1
so zypper was there. Are you telling me that you removed the "--dry-run", and went ahead without waiting?
About the removing and installing, notice what it says:
]The following NEW patches are going to be installed: ] PackageKit-139.noarch (Main Update Repository, maint-coord@suse.de) ] zypper-114.noarch (Main Update Repository, maint-coord@suse.de) ] yast2-ncurses-pkg-83.noarch (Main Update Repository, maint-coord@suse.de) ] libzypp-53.noarch (Main Update Repository, maint-coord@suse.de)
and later:
]The following packages are going to be REMOVED: ] zypper-0.11.6-4.1.i586 (@System, SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany) ] yast2-ncurses-pkg-2.16.13-4.1.i586 (@System, SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany)
Both paragraphs contradict one another, but I understand it means it is going to do both things, which should result into an upgrade.
This is what I think it will do. I'm not fully sure, because your problems make me a bit paranoid.
Yes let's wait and see if somebody has the wise clue.
Right.
Work-a-round/possible-solution: download the zypper-114.noarch to disk, perform the above as previous detailed. If zypper is *not* replaced, rpm -i ./zypper-114.noarch*** and you are back in business. probably a good idea to include the yast2-ncurses package also, just in case, to provide the same recovery. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
