[opensuse] repos back?
Hi List, How do you find out if the repos are back? there is nothing on the website, and when I go to the repositories link (download.opensuse.org/repositores/...), everything seems to be ok there (no messages like "currently being worked out...") When I try to update Kaffeine, Xine... it gives missing dependencies of speex, and some others too (xine, etc...). For other stuff updates seems to be working (office, KDE) Many thanks! Sergey p.s. I need to mention that unfortunately I reinstalled my system right before the crash, so I still need to update some stuff... -- Sergey Mkrtchyan, PhD Student @ Department of Physics & Astronomy, Faculty of Science, University of Waterloo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Some dependencies you mention are in the PackMan repository. http://opensuse-community.org/Repositories/10.3 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi Carlos, I didn't know that there is a separate community repositores there, and I have added packman from there, but I had packman added earlier via Software Repositores (the only difference is tha I've added packman.unixheads.com/... and the community one added the skynet.be, which I think are mirrors, right? ) And the problem still exists, it gave me the same error with speex, and many others... -- Sergey Mkrtchyan, PhD Student @ Department of Physics & Astronomy, Faculty of Science, University of Waterloo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, skynet.be is a mirror, indeed a very good one... you do not need to add the same repository twice at all. Pay close attention to the errors regarding dependencies. Sometimes it is just the request for installing a newer version of a package from another repository.

I've checked it gives a lot of dependency problems and there I have the option of "Install amarok, although it will change the vendor", but anyways when I tick it and click Ok - Try Again it brings that again... But you mean repositories are up and running normally?

At least in the mirror I use (http://ftp5.gwdg.de/) everything runs fine. Kind regards... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ok, so this brings me to the following question. I have amarok-xine installed from Main Update Repository, and I have newer version available from Packman, whenever I just try to update the package it will go with "package cannon be installed due to the missing dependencies". (and there is 9 more...) As a solution it will offer "insall package though it will change the vendor", however when I "tick" it and click Ok - Try Again, it brings to the same window so nothing changes... So the question is, is changing the vendor bad, and if it's not how to do that through YaST? Many thanks! p.s. And somehow for glibc, I have newer version installed than in Main Update Repository (and I didn't install it from somewhere else) -- Sergey Mkrtchyan, PhD Student @ Department of Physics & Astronomy, Faculty of Science, University of Waterloo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

may be you have several install sources for the very same system (10.2 oss, non oss... only one of the same should be there (and all for the same openSUSE version) for example, only one OSS/10.3 official (same only one packman) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have to accept I had earlier (mistakenly), and probably that was the time when it got messed up. Is there any easy workaround? Now I see probably I removes the ones, where it has installed it all from, but aren't they only mirrors (which as I understand the exact copies in different locations) ? Thanks a lot, anyways now I know that it's me not the repos.

simpler way, assuming you use 10.3, is to remove all the repos, go to the wiki, add the (three?) official repos and them use the "community" yast option to add one packman and may be the other necessary (vlc, nvidia or ati...) them make an update with you should fix most problems most repos are given as "dowload.opensuse.org", hat is choosen at use time by the redirector. sometimes repos are not all completely on sync (but initial oss and non oss repos are static, never updated, the only update being for the update repos, as it's name say) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I think it does change, but now it is a different package that needs to change vendor. OR... You have some packages locked, and you have to unlock these first. I had the same problem with amarok and the only way to get it all to work was to accept xine and amarok from packman (since the suse ones are crippled anyway). Once you get a good pacman repository (not all the mirrors work) this usually clears itself up, but not if there are locked packages. -- ----------JSA--------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
