My /etc/zypper/zypp.conf is at default configuration. Yesterday I tried to update few packages, among those were sysconfig, firefox and yast. I used yast software update module (gtk version). It does not affect zypper, right? Zypper removed those before downloading newer versions. Due to a temporary network connection loss zypper could not download packages and quit leaving me without firefox, without yast and, what's even worse, without sysconfig package which contains essential system scripts such as ifup, ifdown etc (so my network went down completely without a possibility to restore). It's a big luck there was no new package of rpm (or it would be removed by zypper too) so I could just download those packages with my second PC and reinstall them from a memory stick. I posted this problem here http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-help-here/applications/445841-critica... People there said there is an option in zypp.cong that makes zypper download everything before upgrading. But it must not remove packages that are to be upgraded anyway. This is not how update should be done. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start yast software management module 2. Select packages to update 3. Start update Actual Results: Sometimes during update process zypper (v1.4.5) removes some of the installed packages even before downloading a newer version. Expected Results: Zypper must not remove packages that are to be updated at any circumstances. Ideally downloading process should run in parallel to updating. -- 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.
