https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=304266#c231296 Summary: again: dependency checking nightmare Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Update Problems AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: koenig@linux.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- this is the next chapter of ticket #231296 summary of new problems: - KDE-CD plus network repositories wants to delete all gnome stuff and much more - conflict resolving finally doesn't terminate, shows empty list and avoids accepting the package selection and starting the installation update. still existing problems: - performace - no list of _all_ conflicts at once available (which multiplies the performace issue) first, the new problem: after about 2 hours of dependency checking and "fixing" I end up with no more conflicts being displayed, but whenever I try to "Accept" my package selection, an empty "Dependency Check" window pops up. if I click in "Try again" I get the next empty dependency list. with "Cancel" I'm back in the package selection, but "Accept"ing the package list closes the circle (see above:-( it took about 90-120 minutes just in this "10 packages a time" mode (see below) to "resolve" all depenency conflicts. in this operation I had to "delete" most/all gnome packages and many other stuff, which should be easy to update with the boot CD (KDE style) and the network repository, isn't it ?! details: I'm using a AMD-1200 with 512MB ram (not decent but ok) running SUSE 10.1 with both KDE and GNOME being installed. I boot from openSUSE 10.3-beta-2 i386 CD1 for KDE and add the additional external installation sources (great new feature!!!) performace: the first dependency checks take about 2.5 to 3 minutes per "try" !! after ~2.5 minutes the small "Checking Dependecies..." window dissapears but it takes another 30-50 seconds until _one_ dependency conflict is displayed (some java-1.5 stuff). after selecting "delete" (old packet version) and "Try again" it takes another ~3 minutes to display the next conflict (next java-1.5 package). 3 minutes later java-packate #3, etc. trying different things (no idea which one was the trigger) I got ~10-15 dependencies in one report, so I can select delete/ignore a few more times at once. but with "Try again" I get the next 10, and the next 10 and ... the turnaround time in this "mode" is somewhat faster, but it still takes ages... trying to update still seems to be really no fun (and was not for 10.2 too :-( -- 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.
