[opensuse] zypper update confusing message
Hi, if I run: zypper update Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... The following package updates will NOT be installed: bind bind-chrootenv bind-libs bind-utils bootsplash-branding-openSUSE <snip> The following packages are going to be upgraded: akonadi akregator amarok <snip> I have e.g. bind installed. Why does the update state that it will NOT be installed? It implies that it will be removed. Confused. Thanks, L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The text actually says that the 'package updates will not be installed', not that the packages won't be installed. To see why it is not doing the update, run: zypper up bind It will tell all, and possibly suggest a way to get the update anyway.
Confused. Thanks, L x

Funny, I have always read "the packages won't be installed" too. Maybe the word "package" should be removed. Dsant -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Ah, I see. Yes, there is a bind update available: zypper up bind Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... There is an update candidate for 'bind', but it is from different vendor. Use 'zypper install bind-9.9.1P2-95.1.i586' to install this candidate. So thanks for explaining this.

Also, there is verbose option in zypper: zypper -vv up You use up to -vvvv . Output is of course very verbose, but you get in one screen all data to make decision about multiple packages. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
