SuSE Online Update not looking at RPM database
I have a problem with SuSE Online Update using Yast2 and SuSE version 7.2. I have installed by hand ( RPM -U ... ) several patches from the SuSE ftp site. However, when I run Yast2's online update from the Yast2 control center, it tells me that I need to download and install those very same patches!? It even says that the version on disk is the same as the version on the ftp site and it still says I need to update with that patch? What gives? Shouldn't Yast2 be comparing the patches in the SuSE ftp site with the current RPM database?

Well, since this has been a big topic as of late. I remind people that YOU's 1st version is in 7.2..so don't expect it to be perfect. If you want a bug fixed like this submit the bug. Hey LenZ..anyone. Is there a fix coming down the pipe for this. I've counted at least 15 people who have mentioned this. * Seán Ó Ceallaigh (sean0cea11aigh_@hotmail.com) [010903 01:08]: ->I have a problem with SuSE Online Update using Yast2 and ->SuSE version 7.2.

Don't know if it will help, but try running: rpm --rebuilddb If this works, then Yast2 is not updating the rpm database. Nevada
