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.
Hi Marcus, Thanks for your reply, but I'm afraid I still don't understand some of it. If the package is installed but the patch isn't, I thought I should see a green and white Z. What's the difference in these cases? When you say 'it will be gone', do you mean the patch will be installed?
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.
Sorry, I don't understand this at all. What's refresh? How can I see what doesn't satisfy the patch (Check says all dependencies are OK)? How can I see what rule it is using to decide that something should be autoinstalled?
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.
Have I understood you correctly: As soon as there's an update to a package, it's no longer possible to debug it? Thanks, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
