I am looking to svn dup my Tumbleweed install. It is currently at 20230729. Aside from the usual Python3 messiness, I see that it wants to remove things like grubby and liblockdev1. At least grubby sounds like a tool that might be used somewhere setting up the system. Should I allow it to remove such things? -- Roger Oberholtzer

I've never had Grubby installed on any openSUSE installation. It's a Fedora bootloader tool. *liblock* packages seem to be going through either version changes with incorporated package name changes, and/or deprecation and replacement by something else. I've been hunting them down with zypper pa --unneeded and purging them. So far, no apparent functionality has been lost on the half dozen or so TWs I've upgraded since the recent glibc-triggered mass rebuild. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

You mean "zypper dup"?

I am not sure I understand this question. Both grubby and lockdev were removed from TW for various reasons. Not removing them may of course work, but e.g. https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1212926 will not be fixed without removal. As for grubby - it was removed because it was not developed anymore. https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1101477
