On one of my systems in the list of software updates I frequently get both a noarch patch and an x86-64 full version of the same package listed, and if I try to do a select all install I get a dependency failure which can always (so far) be cured by opting to install only the patch, at which point the dependency check then offers to install the previously listed full version, and the update proceeds successfully.
Another system I have may list the same two versions of a package as above, but suffers no dependency resolution failure and the update proceeds normally.
It looks to me as if the troublesome machine has a duff installed apps database or something, the question is how to fix it?
I can tell you how I solved my problem for 10.1. Yu need to go to the appropriate mirror, e.g., ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/10.1/i586 (depends on your machine version. do a configure the update source in YAST2. This will take 5 to 10 minutes Down load the following rpm: libzpp libzpp-zmd-backend zmd yast2-ncurses yastw-perl-binding yast2-pkg-bindings zmd-dev do a rpm -Uvh *.rpm I find it easier to just reboot the machine bring up the software update. Just click accept for the first time. This will update additional rpms ofor the updater. Then you can either use zend or software update to update your system. for 10.1 it took about 3 hours. -- Joseph Loo jloo@acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
