[opensuse] can't update - "it would change the vendor"
I've just turned on a 10.3 system that hasn't been run for a while and I tried to update it. I have a huge list of conflicts like this: atom:cups-libs cannot be installed due to missing dependencies There are no installable providers of cups-libs >= 1.2.12-22.8 for atom:cups-libs-1.2.12-22.8.i586[openSUSE-10.3-Updates] === atom:cups-libs-1.2.12-22.8.i586[openSUSE-10.3-Updates] === atom:cups-libs-1.2.12-22.8.i586[openSUSE-10.3-Updates] is needed by patch:gnomefixes-4996-0.noarch[openSUSE-10.3-Updates] (cups-libs == 1.2.12-22.8) (null) Conflict Resolution: ( ) Install cups-libs although it would change the vendor ( ) do not install cups-libs ( ) Ignore this requirement just here In this case, and others that I've looked at, the installed Vendor is "SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany" and the alternate Vendor is "". I remembered some traffic on the list about vendor changes but the threads I found don't seem to deal with this situation. Can somebody please point me to an explanation and instructions of what I should be doing?

Wierd, i'm just looking at http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/repodata/primary.xml.gz, and the cups-libs-1.2.12-22.2.i586 package does have the vendor: <rpm:vendor>SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany</rpm:vendor> i wonder why libzypp does not see it. Maybe it sees some newer version of cups-libs from some other repository you are using?

Try refreshing the repos e.g. with 'zypper ref' on the command line (or even do 'rm /var/cache/zypp/zypp.db' IIRC before refreshing). If the problem stays, create a bug report in bugzilla and attach a solver testcase (i hope you can generate one from the YaST Online Update menu, or you can try 'zypper update --debug-solver' to generate it).

No, the only repositories are the DVD and that update repo.

I deleted the file and that's fixed it. Many thanks, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
