[opensuse] KPackageKit will ignore package locks
Just a word to the wise, if you have Locked locked packages in Yast/Zypp for what ever reason, the little Updater tool KpackageKit that lives in your task bar will erase the locks that are stored in /etc/zypp/locks and update packages that you may need to remain back-level. Three is a bugzila report (690038) of this already but as of today it is still malfunctioning. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

For those that need their locks to survive well meaning staff updates you can set /etc/zypp/locks immutable for the time being. Just remember who did it and who to blame. ;-) As root: chattr +1 /etc/zypp/locks This seems not to interfere with Yast software update process, but removing the lock can't be done in yast till you remove the immutable. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
