That wrong in two ways. First of all apper is just a front-end to packagekit and packagekit is powered by a zypp-backend. Hence most issues you think are apper's fault are zypp backend bugs.
i doubt it's really the zypper backend at fault. if that was the case, why does packagekit act up the same way in fedora? excerpt from "TLWIR 37: Fedora 17 Takes Off" (http://beginlinux.com/blog/2012/05/tlwir-37-fedora-17-takes-off/ ): --------------- Bugs and Problems I have only noticed one problem: when the system starts up Packagekit is running, and it has a lock on the yum process, so you can’t run Yumex without killing Packagekit. Every time that I startup my computer, I have to run the kill command if I want to run Yumex. For example, the most recent time that I started the computer, Packagekit was running on the PID 2357. so I had to open a terminal, become the root user via the su command, and then issue this command: kill 2357 --------------- -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
