Hi, i have been getting the same message as well for a couple months. cant update, have switched mirrors 4 times. use smart to update, and every time i do, it says no problems. but i can run smart update, smart upgrade right after the update, and i get the same amount of packages to update? its like it isnt updating anything!! i can reboot after the update too, and still get the same amount of packages...... yesterday after the update, it said reboot to use the new kernel, so i rebooted and i am still using the same kernel? this updating thing is such a mess...... i really cant wait until 10.2, hopefully its fixed by then. thats all i see on this list is mostly updating problems, and people complaining about them. --- Tim Nicholson wrote:

I thought I would try and remove zmd, but there were so many dependency conflicts including some in yast that I thought it wise not to proceed.

Any ideas as to how to get out of this particular loop?

It comes from a problem with your update mirror. Try changing the mirror you update from.

I have tried that, it makes not the slightest difference!

hi, thank you....... 2 more commands that i have never heard of..... but everything seems to be working correctly now thanks to you. why in the world would these 2 commands NOT be integrated into the package manager??? this just reinforces my point that the update process with yast and smart in severely broken in 10.1..... i absoloutely cannot wait for 10.2!

IINM you have to run, as root, both ldconfig and SuSEconfig after each smart session. Usually just open a terminal, sux or su to root, and then: ldconfig && SuSEconfig Stan -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com Steve Reilly Blog: http://72.227.4.163/ --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

I have now solved my original looping dependency issue using the desktop updater but selecting *only* the three (apparently identical) instances of the zypp patch update (which seemed to be the ones needing to be disabled )updating these, and then running the update again for everything else. A real case of reverse logic imho! -- Tim Nicholson http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
