The results are quite different. E.g. on my workstation i currently get 2000+ packages with 'lu' while 'up' wants to upgrade only around 50.

The difference is right and should be shown. I agree, the current output is puzzling and might need some additional explanation.

Actually, there are three different views on available updates

1) Any update for installed packages This is (according to my current understanding) the 'lu -t package' output. It just takes the individual package into account.

2) Installable update for installed packages This should limit the list from 1) above to actually installable updates. Each such update is still looked at individually. 3) Complete update This is (according to my current understanding) the 'up -t package' output. This is a further reduction to the list from 2), taking the complete transaction into account.

This all sounds great, but how can the difference be so huge? I find it hard to believe that this is OK. It is 2000 vs 50!

Yeah, thats a valid question. Maybe Michael can answer this. Klaus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org

Not really. If I generate a solver testcase and run the solver with updatesystem set to true, it also selects >1000 packages. Seems to be a bug somewhere else...

Uh oh, not true actually. It is a bug in the solver, it depends on when the system repository is added to the pool. That's why it works in the solver testcase, where system always comes first...
