[zypp-devel] zypper dup question.
by Dave Plater 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Hi, this could be me being stupid or it could be a zypper dup bug. I built blender-2.49a-71.1 for the purpose of submission to factory to update blender from 2.48a to 2.49a and at the same time renamed subpackage blender-devel to blender-plugins-devel to avoid confusion as the package is for plugin development. I tried to follow the wiki "renaming a package" conventions. If I "zypper in blender" I get offered the latest factory 2.48a build, if I zypper if blender it states that -2.49a-71.1 is the latest version When I perform a zypper dup -r plagraf (which is the alias for home:plater:branches:graphics ) I get this output :- Problem: problem with installed package blender-devel-2.48a-2.106.x86_64 Solution 1: Following actions will be done: keep blender-devel-2.48a-2.106.x86_64 keep blender-2.48a-2.106.x86_64 Choose the above solution using '1' or cancel using 'c' [1/c] (c): c This is what is in the spec file :- %package plugins-devel Summary: Include files for blender plugin development Group: Development/Libraries/C and C++ Requires:<----->%{name} = %{version}-%{release} # blender-devel renamed to blender-plugins-devel on update to v2.49a Provides:<----->blender-devel = %{version}-%{release} Obsoletes: blender-devel < %{version} Recommends:<--->blender-doc Version 2.48a spec has this in it :- %package devel License: GPL v2 or later Summary: 3D Animation and Rendering Software Group: Productivity/Graphics/Visualization/Raytracers Requires: %name = %version The problem is zypper refuses to install the updated package. Can someone shed light whether this is me misunderstanding what to write in the spec file or a zypper bug, yast simply gives a vedor change option.

You _should_ be able to download packages successfully. The broken mirrors are added on top of the metalink, and tried first, but the working mirrors are included as well, and should eventually be used. Did you not find this happening?

[zypp-devel] prevent user programs from being removed on dups.
by Elmar Stellnberger 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

Zypper -dup may choose to remove important user programs if it can not satisfy its dependencies. This is especially the case if zypper wants to switch the arch of certain packages as in Bug 506801 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506801) My suggestion would be not to let zypper purge any non-lib packages unless the force option is used. Another approach would be to simply collect a set of core packages which should never be removed on a dup (without force). My suggestion for this would be to add all packages which are installed by a minimum system installation via the Opensuse installer to /etc/zypp/systemCheck. There is always a lot of output if you initiate a zypper dup and packages to be deleted are easily overlooked so that I would prefer an overrestraining approach that requires a --force for perfectly reasonable dups in favour of a too sloppy one. What do you think about it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help(a)opensuse.org
