Yes, it needs a release of libsolv-tools 0.7.24, this is in the queue.
thanks for answering here as well. btw, why is the kde software updater applet so quickly to report an outstanding (pending ;) update, but zypper ref and zypper lu dont show anything, apparently zypper being more intelligent so not show anything as the dependencies are not yet satisfied i kind of reasoning?
It is questionable whether it is really "more intelligent", but yes, "zypper patch" (which is effectively what your software updater applet does) and "zypper update" apply different strategies for dependency conflict resolution.
Yes, 'update' simply skips not applicable package updates, while 'patch' implies the guarantee that a defect is either resolved or you are notified that your system is still affected and asked how to resolve this. We (zypp) decided to add an option to 'patch' in one of the next versions, which will allow to skip not applicable patches. This is something scripts could use to apply as many needed patches as possible. BUT: No matter if one uses 'update' or the new 'patch' option to keep the system unattended as up-to-date as possible, one should call 'zypper patch-check (pchk)' from time to time to check, whether patches are still needed. -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres (he/him/his), Engineering & Innovation, ma@suse.com +------------------------------------------------------------------+ SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH www.suse.com Frankenstr. 146, 90461 Nuernberg, Germany Geschäftsführer: Ivo Totev, Andrew McDonald, Werner Knoblich (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) +------------------------------------------------------------------+
