In Yast, in Software Maintenance -> View -> Package Groups, I select All Packages. Then I select Package -> All In This Group -> Update If Newer Version Available. In past releases, I think this was getting all updates. Seems less thorough than zypper dup. Yast -> Online Update -> Packages -> Update if newer version available ...
After doing that, what do you get for: zypper dup
Ok, so I did the online update, got 7 vlc-related packages. Tried again, got no packages. # zypper dup Wow! It started off with "... will be upgraded ... " The only one I'd seen before was NetworkManager-kde4-lang. zypper added libwavpack1, octave. I've been getting the NetworkManager-kde4-lang for a week or so now with online update, but I'd been refusing it because it downgraded almost all the rest of kde to 4.1. (165 packages). As far as I know, I have no use for NetworkManager-kde4-lang, and I didn't want to downgrade, so I rejected it. I figured whatever was causing the anomaly would eventually clear up. Then a list of 2 dozen or so new packages (why?). Then a list of 2 dozen or so packages to be "reinstalled" (huh?). Then a list of 2 dozen or so packages to be "removed". Among them are konqueror, dolphin, kate, konsole, kget, all of which I use heavily. Huh? Then a list of half a dozen packages to "change architecture", among them NetworkManager-kde4-lang. Finally, a couple of hundred to change vendor, none of them among those to be removed, as far as I can see. Overall download size: 233.7 M. After the operation, 110.1 M will be freed. This seems incredible, so I said "no". Can anyone tell me what the heck zypper is trying to do to my system? jp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
