[opensuse] updating problem (opensususeupdater)

Perhaps there is a problem with the repo. I have seen it. I usually just dl and install locally.

I can tell YOU to install it. You sees the patch, but it is not automatically selected. It is something different this time, I think. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

What is wrong? I think it is the priority of the package. Just click the box beside it on the left to update it. The update is just not automatically selected, but it does update and install. As it specifies, it is only to satisfy a dependency you have already taken care of.

Yes, it would install if I do that; but the question is why opensuseupdater says there is one update pending, and after telling it to go ahead and firing YOU this one doesn't automatically see the update and does nothing. I think it is a bug, but I wanted comments. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Its marked optional, thats why it does not get applied by default. That opensuseupdater still warns in this case is likely a bug. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This update is optional - It will display that the update is there but as an optional update you need to decide to tick it and it will install. Other wise don't worry about it. If you change the drop down box to "show patch category" to - All installed and installable patches you will see the mandatory - and optional ones which you have to tick Scott Carlos E. R. wrote:

It is optional, and by default not updated, which means that opensuseupdater keeps nagging that there is an update pending, being false - and that is a bug. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Sorry Kenneth, It was not deliberate just and oops. Your knowledge is respected, however a private message would have been more useful and appropriate in policing others frailties or errors. Scott Kenneth Schneider wrote:

Perhaps we could interest you in a nice thread-aware mail reader? Or convince you to simply follow along, rather than try to skip to the end?

I think the problem he is really more bothered about is when some things are at the top and some things at the bottom plus bits put in the middle. After a while the result can get somewhat incoherent. Even while following a particular thread it can become difficult to follow the plot as a consequence. I think a little common sense is required here. While I (nowadays) prefer things to be bottom posted, I think it might be useful if one responds to a thread consistently and not mix top and bottom posting, (and edit out stuff which is not relevant to a response). With the focus on retaining some coherence rather than religiously applying a convention. I have noticed other respondents take the time to split replies on more complex queries into multiple more focussed comments, a practice I should think about adopting. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGX95UasN0sSnLmgIRAljNAKD5QTPsFMNox2hwprVFmMhhlwwRPACeJvmj oJwx8y56GqIUpT9h0uklIsE= =S3RI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There's absolutely no need for it at all. If a reply is posted to a newsgroup or mailing list, said 'reference' is for *ALL* to see, not particularly one person. If one person wants to only see a top-posted 'reference', he can ask to have it sent to his/her private e-mail. There's no need to make people who read normally...from top to bottom of a page...to be hindered with abnormal postings. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Not useless, since it's something other people might actually be reading and heeding also...not just you.

No, this is my thread and my question. I'm asking about a precise problem with opensususeupdater, and I'm not interested in a useless branch about top-posting. That top-posted message was an answer to my problem, and it would be me who could have complained and I didn't. To be fair, the person involved already apologized to me in private. So, please you all, stop talking in this thread except about the precise topic of this thread, or take it to the off-topic list. Already a dozen useless messages that don't say anything about opensususeupdater... :-/ - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
