I don't believe this is possible with zypper at this time. It is not a limitation of libzypp - you can select the specific version in yast2 sw_single (see the versions tab).
Its supposed to be possible in 10.3 zypper, for zypper>=0.8.4, as mentioned in bug 247320
Yes, but the default has been reverted back to --name (selecting packages for installation by name) and new --capability option has been introduced to install by capability (e.g. versioned).
The new syntax is (from current zypper man page):
install (in) [options] <name> ... install (in) [options] --capability <capability> ... Install or update packages or other resolvables. The resolvables can be selected by their name or by a capability they provide. Capability is: NAME, or "NAME[OP<EDITION>]", where OP is <, <=, =, >=, or > and EDITION is VERSION[-RELEASE], for example: zyp- per=0.8.8-2. The NAME component of a capability is not only a package name but any symbol provided by packages: /bin/vi, libcurl.so.3, perl(Time::ParseDate). Just remember to quote to protect the special characters from the shell, for example: zypper\>0.8.10 or 'zypper>0.8.10' If EDITION is not specified, the newest available version will be installed. This also means that if the package is already installed and newer versions are available, it will get upgraded to the newest one. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
