This works, but it does quite the opposite - it ensures that libxine1 from Packman does not get onto your system. I.e. it can only be installed/updated from other repos than those you have locked. As Peter mentioned in the other mail in this thread, you should be fine with vendor locks (unless you use 'dup'). 'zypper up' won't change the vendor of an installed package.

That's where locks come in handy. Just do 'zypper al agfa-fonts', and they'll be safe. But note they will be protected also from update this way, in which case you need to do 'zypper in/up agfa-fonts' and you will be prompted to ignore the lock to proceed. -- cheers, jano Ján Kupec YaST team ---------------------------------------------------------(PGP)--- Key ID: 637EE901 Fingerprint: 93B9 C79B 2D20 51C3 800B E09B 8048 46A6 637E E901 ---------------------------------------------------------(IRC)--- Server: irc.freenode.net Nick: jniq Channels: #zypp #yast #suse #susecz ---------------------------------------------------------(EOF)---

Hmm, Locks are intended to prevent changes to a package, i.e., even if there's an update available, don't install it. You just want the package to stay with a vendor, and this is the default. Vendor changes only occur when you do a 'zypper dup' - and that is one reason why you should not use that by default. That said, if you install the packman xines, and only use 'up' they should stay with packman.
