[opensuse] Controlling Zen Updater
Hi all, Well now that my updater is working, I've downloaded and installed a couple of hundred patches, but I can't find out how to control the system. I have three particular issues: 1) the system wants to update Java 1.5, which I'm fine with, but it's trying to uninstall Java 1.6 before doing so. I'm not fine with that. I want both versions available. I can't see how I might prevent it from doing this. 2) It wants to update the xine-ui. I don't want it to. How can I stop it from having the orange exclamation mark icon without accepting this update? I'd like to have the orange warning appear when stuff I might be interested in appears, rather than all the time. 3) It wants me to update python (noarch) and python-32bit (I'm on a 64bit machine). However, when I tell it to do so, it complains: Python(noarch) produces: Unresolved dependencies: Installing patch:python-2446-0.noarch[SUSE-Linux-10.2-Updates] atom:python-32bit-2.5-19.2.x86_64[SUSE-Linux-10.2-Updates] needed by patch:python-2446-0.noarch[SUSE-Linux-10.2-Updates] Installing atom:python-32bit-2.5-19.2.x86_64[SUSE-Linux-10.2-Updates] atom:python-2.5-19.2.x86_64[SUSE-Linux-10.2-Updates] needed by patch:python-2446-0.noarch[SUSE-Linux-10.2-Updates] Installing atom:python-2.5-19.2.x86_64[SUSE-Linux-10.2-Updates] python-32bit-2.5-19.2.x86_64[SUSE-Linux-10.2-Updates] provides python-32bit == 2.5-19.2, but it is uninstallable. Try installing it on its own for more details. There are no installable providers of python-32bit >= 2.5-19.2 for atom:python-32bit-2.5-19.2.x86_64[SUSE-Linux-10.2-Updates] and python-32bit produces: Unresolved dependencies: Updating python-32bit-2.5-19.x86_64[System packages] to python-32bit-2.5-19.2.x86_64[SUSE-Linux-10.2-Updates] Establishing atom:python-32bit-2.5-19.2.x86_64[SUSE-Linux-10.2-Updates] There are no installable providers of libsqlite3.so.0 for python-32bit-2.5-19.2.x86_64[SUSE-Linux-10.2-Updates] My interpretation is that python noarch won't install without the update to python-32bit, and that python-32bit wont install without sqlite, but rpm -q reports that I have sqlite: sqlite2-2.8.17-34 So, what gives?

Might be because sqlite2-2.8.17-34 is not sqlite-3.3.5-9.1.

Very fair observation :) Any special reason it doesn't offer me any way to upgrade that one then? Thanks, Simon "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.

I don't know what updater you are using (I use smart), but now that you know the requirements, why not just install "sqlite" and let the package-management system determine the correct course of action? -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 OpenSUSE Linux http://en.opensuse.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hmm, actually, no. I hadn't labelled this protected, as the update tool doesn't seem to offer anything. However, I think I can infer a course of action (which presumably won't work because of the bug you mention :) that at least might be expected to work in principle.
