Now this is just silly. The base (whole of 9.0) was just added to apt. Now I have over 1031 pkgs being upgraded because the packages in base are newer then the cd versions. The updated packages were not in update as they most likely just should have been but now it looks like pretty much an entire system upgrade. WOW! Isn't this just silly.
Get:1 ftp://ftp.gwdg.de SuSE/9.0-i386/base glibc 2.3.2-92 (what apt is getting)
The glibc that installed from the cd's is version "glibc-2.3.2-88".
just minimalize your sources.list:
rpm ftp://mirrors.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/9.0-i386 update security packman usr-local-bin suser-rbos rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/9.0-i386 update security
you don't need more i think :)
Umm..yes. I would need base if I do not want to be sticking the cd's in every time I need a dependency filled. :) That's what makes having the whole distro up on the ftp site so convenient. :) My point was that they didn't put things like the glibc upgrade into the updates directory and if needed upgrading they should have done that. Once apt is finished squaring stuff it won't be an issue. I was just taken aback by the amount of updates. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===--- #147972 ---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org -- Why do we bother with a suicide watch when someone is on deathrow?
