The point is that suse patches indeed conflict with packages shipped by another vendor.
So we need to make the patch dependency information richer to cover such situations. Patches could get a 'vendor' string and only apply to packages with a matching vendor. Then one has three possibilities 1. All packages referenced by the patch have the same vendor as the patch (normal situation) -> patch is valid and should be considered 2. No package referenced by the patch has the same vendor as the patch (all packages from different vendor) -> patch is invalid and must not be considered 3. Some packages referenced by the patch have the same vendor as the patch and some packages don't (vendor mix) -> user must decide Klaus --- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: zypp-devel+owner@opensuse.org
