I have set of home-grown RPMs that I'm trying to use zypper to install.

They all have misc 'Requires' directives that I hoped would drive what order they are installed.

I'm running into challenges wherein zypper seemingly is not honoring them; some are going in out-of-order.

Is there are way of having zypper reveal dependency loops, and how it expects to solve them, without committing to an installation pass?

Actually not, but this would indeed be a nice Feature. Could be integrated into --dry-run. I filed https://github.com/openSUSE/zypper/issues/520 for this. -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres (he/him/his), Engineering & Innovation, ma@suse.com +------------------------------------------------------------------+ SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH www.suse.com Frankenstr. 146, 90461 Nuernberg, Germany Geschäftsführer: Ivo Totev, Andrew McDonald, Werner Knoblich (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) +------------------------------------------------------------------+
