[opensuse] Zypper disappeared from panel
I received a warning on the panel from Zypper that it was not able to function. (I didn't save the message). It did report that there was updates. I went to YOU to download the updates. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

I am astonished that this bug (boost update removes zypper) has still not been fixed ?

Ok, my hand is slapped.

Just want to add that this was solved. I don't know why the SuSE Updater disappeared from the panel, but after reinstalling boost and zypper, it did not come back. I then did a subsequent YOU, and found an interesting unsolvable dependency. I fixed that by adding another repository, but in further looking around, I found that the opensuse-updater-kde package was not installed. Once installed, the updater began working correctly. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

Greg -- Hum, guess not. This unit hasn't done that recent an update...installed it last weekend, and it looks like the update at that time didn't take, here's my files currently installed. (It was my laptop that I updated Tuesday...)
Linux master 2.6.22.5-31-default #1 SMP 2007/09/21 22:29:00 UTC i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux master:/home/thpnalb # rpm -q boost boost-1.33.1-108 master:/home/thpnalb # rpm -q libzypp libzypp-3.26.2-2 master:/home/thpnalb # rpm -q zypper zypper-0.8.23-7 So I guess I have to look further at this seg fault... but your idea has merit, I might re-install the yast / zypper groups just for grins...

Is there a way to skip that 'bad' update to the updater? My system shows the update, but I have not installed it. Do I need to install it and then fix it? Thanks, Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The bad update is gone from the mirrors for a week, your system should not show this update. (The problematic update is "boost" if you want to check.) ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Actually it was fixed within a matter of minutes, the #suse topic just wasn't updated (it was left in for a while for those affected during the brief period the faulty update was available. Thanks for pointing it out, I've now removed the item from the #suse topic. While the faulty update not being caught before going live was concerning, the problem was rectified with expediency. -- Benjamin Weber -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
