Hello,
I started using Tumbleweed this January, so this is new to me. During this recent large update I get a few file conflicts, for example:
File /boot/vmlinuz-3.18.3-1-desktop from install of kernel-desktop-3.18.3-1.3.x86_64(openSUSE 20150115-0) conflicts with file from package kernel-desktop-3.18.3-1.1.x86_64(@System)
The update is supposed to install kernel-desktop-3.18.3-1.3 (I assume). Currently kernel-desktop-3.18.3-1.1 is installed, so I am confused as to why installing kernel*-1.3 would appear to install a file labeled *-1.1.
If I continue (choose "yes") and the old content is replaced, is this the correct action to resolve this conflict? Choosing "no" just aborts the install process. I just answered yes as I did not anticipate any ill effects and all went well.
A reasonable solution to one who either: 1) has lady luck on his side; or 2) has nothing to lose; or 3) knows what he is doing, but it is simply a heart-stopper to a newbie who has been led to believe that openSUSE doesn't release into its repositories something which hasn't been fully tested (except for Factory that is) :-) .
I later removed 3.18.3-1.1
STOP PRESS! I just realised something! *I* am using and making comments about kernel *3.18.5-1* - repeat 3.18.5-1 - and NOT 3.18.3.1 which this thread is all about! I went thru kernel 3.18.3-1 quite some time ago and did not have the hassle mentioned in this thread. But I did have/am having a hassle with 3.18.5-1.1 => 3.18.5-1.2. This should give someone a clue as to when or what has changed to cause this problem with "file conflicts".
