https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=210950 Summary: smart: kernel-source still marked as multi-version in distro.py Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 5 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: guru@unixtech.be /usr/lib/smart/distro.py is setting a multi-version flag on kernel-source: pkgconf.setFlag("multi-version", "kernel-source") Can you reconsider this? Reasons: - It is unexpected. There is an old rule of thumb in the SUSE community: "rpm -qa | grep kernel" should show the same versions for all matches. - It causes interoperability problems for users who want to work with apt and smart in parallel, because apt errors out if multiple versions of a package are installed. - Now that smart respects file conflicts by default, it doesn't even have to work: See bug 210301. Changes in /etc/init.d/running-kernel would effectively prevent a kernel update. - There is no way to get rid of it, because /usr/lib/smart/distro.py is not a config file. Users can easily create their own multi-version flags, however. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
