Running 10.3 alpha 2+.

when I run smart upgrade I get this error:

874.1MB of package files are needed. 472.4kB will be freed.

Confirm changes? (Y/n): y

Committing transaction... Preparing... ################################## [ 0%] error: file /usr/share/YaST2/scrconf/proc_meminfo.scr conflicts between attempted installs of yast2-2.15.25-2 and yast2-storage-2.15.7-5

If I run smart, fix it tells me I have no problems to resolve.

to see who built the package, from cl run: rpm -q <pkg-name> --changelog | head the first line will be a date and email addr of the builder

ie: rpm -q --changelog yast2-storage | head * Mon Jun 12 2006 - fehr@suse.de

My solution is - sudo rm -vrf /var/lib/smart/packages/* (before running smart upgrade) smart upgrade --download sudo rpm -Uvh --force /var/lib/smart/packages/*.rpm (if you have too many for rpm to swallow at once, do it in chunks and use --nodeps) Yes, I'm saying it won't do much harm to force the bastard. The bug's been known about for ages - smart just needs a --force switch to pass on to rpm then the problem is solved IMO. -- /"Horst Günther Burkhardt III"-------------------\ | There's no place like localhost (127.0.0.1) | | http://peanuthorst.livejournal.com/ <- blog | \-----------------------------/
