With the opensuse updater (blue orb that turns orange when something is ready to receive) there are two updates being offered that I don't want as they insist on ekiga being removed. These are CVS updates for opal and pwlib. I unclicked them to keep from having them loaded. However, the orb remains orange. I have checked with both the maintainer of ekiga and packman and am told not to use these CVS versions as they are not compatible with ekiga. There not coming from packman either or guru. I think they are coming from one of the repositories at SUSE that I have added but am not 100% sure.

1) How can one tell which repository is offering what package?
From the command line 'rug sl' should tell you what repository the catalog number corresponds to. (Rug is the command line interface to zmd.)
2) How can I turn off a package so that the orb turns normal but that if a newer one shows up that I am alerted?
I don't think that is possible at present (without removing the entire catalog). -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks, the catalogue is: 3 | Active | ZYPP | 20070206-121527 | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo The report truncates the full path. I am pretty sure it is "oss/suse" on the end. Someone at SUSE should become aware that both Opal and pwlib CVS versions here are causing this problem. It's a pitty that unclicking the RPM doesn't allow the ORB to turn normal but maybe it will in some future offering.

The opensuseupdater is different application. What you see is zen-updater, that has, for me, big problem: missing function to ignore some update forever, and permanent orange whether there are security updates or just newer versions of programs that I don't want. I use opensuseupdater that is not installed by default in 10.2. It is only notification applet for security updates. If you click on install in notification popup it will start good old YOU (YaST Online Update). -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
