So, you went out of your way to add some external repo, and then you used it irresponsibly, and then you accused Novell of breaking your system. This is why big companies remove freedoms from the rest of us. Thanks.
Oh contrair BKW,
With a massive update-all, and no asking for Maria, she appeared out of the light like a moth drawn to a flame. While I did have the obs-database repository activated, on investigation, is still contains both mysql and mariadb. There is logic somewhere that was inserted that says mariadb=mysql or my system would have never pulled in a package on 'update' that was not previously 'installed' before. Sure sounds like someone doesn't want to end up with egg on their face :p
As was stated prior, there was a misconfiguration in the spec file that stated that mariadb obsoleted mysql instead of being in conflict. The author of the package made a mistake. This is precisely why people need to be diligent when installing *and* updating packages. Also when selecting repos that are not selected by default. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
