I have a Tumbleweed system that is a little out of date. (Different discussion.) For whatever reason (local IT complaints), I decided to update Jenkins (CI system). We use it, but not in a critical way. So if the update failed, no real problem. After updating it, it complained that the java we had was too old. okay, It's the only java app, so same for this, a successful update is not critical. Well, after updating these two things (java was a number of packages), all hell has broken loose. I see that I missed that glibc was updated when Java was updated. Rookie mistake. I know better. But it is what it is. And glibc is usually pretty much backward compatible in that it usually contains recent API versions a well a the new one. So, I thought I would do a snapper rollback. Which I did. However, it looks like all the changes are still there. rpm --last reports all the updated RPMs. I expected that to have been reverted. Did I miss something. I'm afraid to reboot as I don't know what all is effected. I'm afraid to do the long delayed distro update as I don't know what might fail in some RPM script. I could consider doing a fresh install. All the important stuff on this system is on a separate RAID volume. It's just some configurations on root that I would like to keep. However, I nave a critical application (trac) that is still not Python 3 for production use. So I don't want to loose any Python 2 stuff that I have already installed. Any words of encouragement? Advice? -- Roger Oberholtzer
