--- Comment #3 from Michael Andres
I think something is wrong in the package or repository metadata. But I have to admit I don't really understand what "applications" are supposed to be in libzypp context.
See: https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/GnomeGoals/AppDataGnomeSoftware It looks like we have trouble getting consistent data. My repos are Tumbleweed, but they suffer the same problem. The appdata.xml.gz file in the repository claims that dconf-0.22.0 will provide an application named 'dconf Editor':
<application> <name>dconf Editor</name> ... <id type="desktop">ca.desrt.dconf-editor.desktop</id>
After installation however the installed ca.desrt.dconf-editor.appdata.xml defines no more <name>, so the installed application is named after the file 'ca.desrt.dconf-editor.appdata':
# rpm -qf /usr/share/appdata/ca.desrt.dconf-editor.appdata.xml dconf-0.22.0-2.1.x86_64
# cat /usr/share/appdata/dconf-editor.appdata.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <application> <id type="desktop">ca.desrt.dconf-editor.desktop</id> ... defines no <name>
Similar for xfce4-power-manager. The installed /usr/share/appdata/xfce4-power-manager.appdata.xml defines an application named:
<name>Xfce power manager</name>
The appdata.xml.gz file in the repository however list no application being acssociated with xfce4-power-manager. The inconsistent repo metadata make the resolver assume, that updateing/reinstalling 'dconf' and 'xfce4-power-manager' will remove the requested applications. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
