I thought as much.

Now seriously, usually files have a "magic header" which can be used to indentify the file type, in this case seems the rpm is corrupted or you need to update rpm first.

Installation of [S2:1][package]glibc-2.8-13.i686 failed:

Looking that part, this question is more suitable for opensuse-factory mailing list.. if you are running openSUSE 10.3 and trying to upgrade to factory/11.0 , then you have to upgrade rpm first, then upgrade zypper and libzypp then the whole system using zypper dist-upgrade.

Hmm - wierd. No plans to use factory or 11.0 sources here. I am currently running smart update to see if that works any better/worse. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Then,were did you got glibc-2.8 if you dont have factory sources configured in your package manager huh?

Um, no idea. I'll check if I have factory sources. Not sure why I would..

something is seriously wrong in your setup, and will get worse if you happend to use smart, just dont.

...well, I use SMART mostly to install, because the YaST software installation routine is excruciatingly slow. It takes several minutes of updating sources and reading repositories before I can install anything.

A wild guess: Opensuse 10.3 has libvorbis-1.2.0-11, and factory has libvorbis-1.2.0-48 or later, so you are not installing a plain suse 10.3 package. As it appears you don't have a factory repo, then one of the extra repos (videolan, packman) is making rpms for 10.3 inapropiate for 10.3.

VideoLAN repository does not provide any base libraries that are maintained in the Distributions. if i would come from packman, you would see a version-release, where release always containst .pm somewhere, so they are easily spottable.

So then they are factory libs, no? They have to be.

There are two entries where you can define repos: Community Repositories and Software Repositories.

Okay, went into the Software Repositories and deselected the factory there.

Hmmmmm.....I didn't know that. I went and checked both of tthem in Yast and most seem to be duplicates. I de-selected all that I found in Community.

Is there a list someplace to show us what repos we need to have a nice clean update process?

I only use the "Software Repositories" because I noticeed the "Community Repositories" only recently. I don't know why or what for that exists. If I remember correctly 11.0 doesn't have it. What you really, absolutely, need is: One OSS repo One Non-OSS repo One Updates repo One DVD if you have it. The rest is extra. Those are the official repos. If you mean for upgrade to 11.0, that's handled by the updater, and they are the same repos, but the ones labelled 11.0. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I believe I saw this same error but with different packages. This happens on an old test machine with a flaky hard drive during install. What I did to work around this was to go to ( while the error was showing in the install window ) ctrl-alt F2 and chroot to the install directory and run rpm --rebuilddb. When the rebuild was finished I exited the chroot environment, go back to the install screen with alt F7 and hit retry to continue the installation. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

thanks, Ken.

I did hit ctrl-alt-f2, which downgraded me to the command line. (I ended up having to hit ctrl-alt-del to restart the computer.)
