Reading installed packages... Patches Warning: These are only the updates affecting the updater itself. Other updates are available too. Repository | Name | Version | Category | Status ---------------------+--------------+---------+-------------+------- openSUSE-11.1-Update | softwaremgmt | 473 | recommended | Needed # LANG=C zypper patch Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... Nothing to do. I also tried # zypper in -t patch softwaremgmt ("Nothing to do") # zypper in -t patch --force softwaremgmt (patch re-installed, but zypper lp still tells me that I have to install the softwaremgmt-473 patch) Basically this is probably bug 498814, but it has a very bad side effect: As long as the softwaremgmt patch is listed, zypper lp does not list any other patches (including security updates) and is therefore useless. In case it is helpful: # LANG=C zypper search -t patch -s softwaremgmt S | Name | Type | Version | Arch | Repository --+---------------------+-------+---------+--------+--------------------- i | softwaremgmt | patch | 791 | noarch | openSUSE-11.1-Update | softwaremgmt | patch | 473 | noarch | openSUSE-11.1-Update i | softwaremgmt-200906 | patch | 948 | noarch | openSUSE-11.1-Update Logs and solver testcase on request - I don't attach it for now because I think the issue is known from bug 498814 already. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
