[opensuse] Irrelevant Update in openSUSE Updater
Hi, The openSUSE Updater on my 10.3 system is showing me a 64-bit update for openmotif22-libs (version 4540-0) listed as "optional" while all the others are appropriate and listed as either "recommended" or "security". (This is a 32-bit installation.) Obviously, this is only cosmetic, but I'd just as soon not have it linger there indefinitely. Can I get rid of it? Should I install it? Should I mark it "taboo?"

To me it's not fully cosmetic, because if you run a sudo zypper update -t patch it will install that stupid thing.. sudo zypper update -t patch root's password: * Reading repository 'Main Repository (OSS)' cache * Reading repository 'NVIDIA Repository' cache * Reading repository 'KDE 3.5 Branch Repository' cache * Reading repository 'openSUSE BuildService - KDE:Backports' cache * Reading repository 'Packman Repository' cache * Reading repository 'openSUSE 10.3 Updates' cache * Reading repository 'Main Repository (NON-OSS)' cache * Reading repository 'openSUSE BuildService - Xorg 7.3' cache * Reading repository 'openSUSE BuildService - GNOME Stable (for Pidgin)' cache * Reading repository 'openSUSE BuildService - OpenOffice.org' cache * Reading repository 'openSUSE BuildService - Wine CVS Builds' cache * Reading repository 'openSUSE BuildService - X11:XGL' cache * Reading repository 'openSUSE BuildService - Mozilla' cache * Reading installed packages [100%] The following NEW package is going to be installed: openmotif22-libs The following NEW patch is going to be installed: openmotif22-libs Overall download size: 1.2 M.

care to explain why it is wrong for you ? looks perfectly correct, it is just installing openmotif22-libs update.. if the to-be-installed rpm patch descritpion says it fixes a 64 bit bug does not mean you are getting a 64 bit rpm installed !! if, after the installation the following command: rpm -q --queryformat=%{arch} openmotif22-libs returns "x86_64" on a **32 bit** system (extremely unlikely to happen really) then there is a blocker bug that should be reported, otherwise it is the expected, correct behaviour. -- "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." --Albert Einstein Cristian Rodríguez R, Core Services SUSE LINUX Products GmbH Research & Development http://www.opensuse.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

On my system, the openSUSE Updater display says "openmotif22-libs: 64bit package added for compatibility". It doesn't say anything about a 64-bit bug, whatever that might be, it says it's a "64bit package" (sic). The Patch Description in the Online Update YaST module contains this: -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- openmotif22-libs - openmotif22-libs: 64bit package added for compatibility This patch contains the 64bit package of the old version 2.2.4 Open Motif runtime environment. You just need that package if you have software which doesn't recompile with the new openmotif version. -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==-
rpm -q --queryformat=%{arch} openmotif22-libs
# rpm -q --queryformat=%{arch} openmotif22-libs package openmotif22-libs is not installed
returns "x86_64" on a **32 bit** system (extremely unlikely to happen really) then there is a blocker bug that should be reported, otherwise it is the expected, correct behaviour.
