Hi Michael,
Where is 'alien-8.78-1.2.noarch' from? openSUSE:Factory:Contrib has alien-8.78-1.18.noarch and requires perl = 5.10.1.
It seems that I solved my problem. First I ignored the error and forced installation of alien.
After that I realized that I had a mix of factory and 11.2 packages and corrected this and did a zypper dup. alien now works
But to answer your question:
This information I got from yast:
│Name │ │Version │Repository │Size │Architecture i│alien │ x │8.78-1.2│os 11.2 contrib│ 238.0 KiB│noarch
and this is what zypper shows:
cassiopeia:~ # zypper if alien Loading repository data... Reading installed packages...
Information for package alien:
Repository: @System Name: alien Version: 8.78-1.2 Arch: noarch Vendor: obs://build.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Factory Installed: Yes Status: up-to-date Installed Size: 238.0 KiB Summary: A Perl Script to Convert Packages Description: Experimental Perl script to convert software packages. The following formats are supported: deb (Debian), rpm (Red Hat), and tgz (Slackware).
Yeah, 'zypper info' is a bit underpowered right now. I plan to improve it. In the meantime, use 'zypper se -s alien' if you're interested in available version of a package, and what repos have them. -- cheers, jano Ján Kupec YaST team ---------------------------------------------------------(PGP)--- Key ID: 637EE901 Fingerprint: 93B9 C79B 2D20 51C3 800B E09B 8048 46A6 637E E901 ---------------------------------------------------------(IRC)--- Server: irc.freenode.net Nick: jniq Channels: #zypp #yast #suse #susecz ---------------------------------------------------------(EOF)---
