delete the lock files and do: zypper -v dup -d;zypper -v dup
Ok, I was able to get it to work. It seems like it was only the time of waiting for awhile after removing the lock file. Thanks!
a suggestion (works well for me): in the future do (or something similar) zypper -v ref ; zypper -v dup -d && zypper -v dup -y that is three operations update software database download all pkgs in advance, will display packages and you can stop the process here if it is doing something you don't want install downloaded packages w/o asking and occasionally do: zypper clean if a download hangs or a package install hangs, kill the process and restart it. if the second operation asks questions, answer, but then the final operation (install) will fail and you need to drop the "-y" and repeat as: zypper -v dup if a package is being changed and you do not want it changed, zypper al <package-name> al is add lock zypper ll will list locks across five local computers, I have 2 locks ONLY because I want those packages from a particular repo. gud luk -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
