I've already amended bug 669498, but I'd like some help to get around this - I'm trying to install gdb:

# zypper in python-base Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies...

Problem: patterns-openSUSE-minimal_base-11.4-6.9.1.x86_64 conflicts with python-base provided by python-base-2.7-8.4.x86_64 Solution 1: deinstallation of patterns-openSUSE-minimal_base-11.4-6.9.1.x86_64 Solution 2: do not install python-base-2.7-8.4.x86_64

Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c] (c): pi08:~ # zypper in gdb Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies...

Problem: gdb-7.2-3.3.x86_64 requires python-base, but this requirement cannot be provided uninstallable providers: python-base-2.7-8.4.i58 [openSUSE-11.4-11.4-0] python-base-2.7-8.4.x86_64[openSUSE-11.4-11.4-0] python-base-2.7-8.4.i586[repo-oss] python-base-2.7-8.4.x86_64[repo-oss] Solution 1: deinstallation of patterns-openSUSE-minimal_base-11.4-6.9.1.x86_64 Solution 2: do not install gdb-7.2-3.3.x86_64 Solution 3: break gdb by ignoring some of its dependencies

Any suggestions?

Not sure why the patterns-openSUSE-minimal_base-11.4-6.9.1.x86_64 conflicts, but I guess deinstalling it an option.

Hmm, I guess that won't drag anything else with it. Good point. Thanks.

Yep, that worked. I guess we can track this in bugzilla. It seems very odd to me to have to deinstall a pattern just to allow installation of another package. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
