[opensuse] System Up-gradation: How to eradicate extra files & unusable files
Hi, I had openSUSE 12.2 with KDE paltform. I upgraded from "zypper dup". The exact process I followed was from the root login and was as follows: zypper repos --uri zypper refresh zypper update zypper lr sed -i 's/12\.2/12\.3/g' /etc/zypp/repos.d/* zypper ref zypper dup in order from the first. It worked and now over. Then I run: zypper patch zypper up Now, I have 12.3 KDE openSUSE. But Totem player was working. So, for that, I just searched for "gstreamer-plugins" in the YAST and installed all the files containing this name. Since it was a GNOME application, I was installing in KDE. Apart from it, there could possibly be many files which were installed and not used in the Totem player (because of the installation method used). So how can those be all recognized and eradicated, simply because they won't be used any more any time! Apart from it, after having 12.3 desktop, how should I know that there are no more old files or conflicting files, though I have removed the Orphaned Packages from Yast. Thanks. The totem player was working fine in 12.2 but after up-gradation is not gstreamer-plugins -- Life and death. At some point we're gonna leave this world. Do I know when?

You are probably wasting effort here, because these packages that you are fretting about don't take any significant amount of disk space, and their presence costs you nothing. Simply installing gtstreamer packages doesn't pull in that much of gnome anyway. Trying to root out any un-used configuration files is also probably not worth the effort. Many times the update process will put new configuration files in with an additional extension (.rpmnew) but leave your existing one in place and in use. I suppose you could purge these, but they don't harm you and might be useful in the future. So short answer: Don't bother. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I'm missing a "zypper clean" here.
zypper ref zypper dup
