I'm really wondering what sane user would ever say YES to THIS question... Is like if the sustem aks you for permission to selfdestruct... as it's a question, let's reply with YES?? Sorry.. I would say you had rather some luck that perl-base failed in first instance... otherwise you'd probably have ended up with a system without rpm installed on it... tough luck to install anything else.. even using zypper, as zypper just relies on rpm in the background.

Why? It is going to remove rpm and install rpm, ie, it is going to upgrade rpm. That's correct. The problem is that it wants to install perl before.

What you can try is to download rpm from the factory repository manually and install it using rpm -Fhv rpm-4*.rpm

Probably the easiest way. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

is this the problem related to my online access (I have no problem with internet connection) or is there any problem with my installation source ?

Here is my installation source :

# zypper lr # | Enabled | Refresh | Type | Alias | Name --+---------+---------+--------+---------+-------- 1 | Yes | No | yast2 | non-oss | non-oss 2 | Yes | No | rpm-md | fact | fact 3 | Yes | No | yast2 | oss | oss

* fact = factory installation source

Hi try zypper ref and then attempt to update rpm in yast. I've experienced that problem once before but I can't remember what caused it. Yast will give more specific information on the failure and sometimes just clicking retry will help.

Hi,

I tried to upgrade my openSUSE 10.3 into 11.0 factory but it seems to stop in the first step.

I found the suggestion here : http://www.suseforums.net/index.php?showtopic=48136&pid=237513&mode=threa ded&show=&st=0&#entry237513 but I don't know how to updated the rpm and rpmdelta packages via YaSTs Software Management because the preparation of upgrade has removed yast (typing yast and yast2 produce "command not found")

You need to upgrade to factory rpm-4.4.2-182.i586.rpm or above. zypper in rpm before the zypper dup. I've filed a bug report already about incorrect dependencies. They have changed the rpm compression format. Dave

I did this yesterday after getting the advise to use zypper. Everything worked fine after that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
